This is big news for the ACC who will be forced to find new sites for a variety of championship games including women’s soccer, women’s basketball, baseball, golf, and football for this upcoming season. The football game, which has been held in Charlotte, will be relocated, with no hint at where that might be. Will it be another neutral site, or will it be held on a campus?
John Swofford the ACC Commissioner came out with the following statement as well about why the ACC made the move, after seemingly being hesitant to before.
