Excerpt:

"That rule was formalized on July 1, 1961 when at the conference meetings in Greensboro, UNC’s motion to designate the regular season winner as champion failed to receive a second. As soon that that motion was off the table, the league officials voted unanimously to designate the tournament winner as champion...

The debate was really fierce back in the 1950s and 1960s, when only the tournament champion could represent the ACC in the NCAA. When fourth-seeded Duke upset co-regular season champions North Carolina and Wake on back-to-back nights to win the 1960 ACC Tournament, there was outrage."

Question:

With respect to UNC's 1961 motion to designate the winner of the regular season as the "champion" -- coming on the heels of the 1960 outrage ... was the motion to also award the NCAA berth to the regular season winner?

That is, I see two issues:

1. Who is called the official champion?
2. Who gets the NCAA berth?

Was UNC's 1961 motion directed at both issues?
