The ACC is never going to lock down it's tourney long term in one city...

...now that we stretch the entire Atlantic coast. I'm sure the Garden wanted a bit of stability, and the BE gives that to them.

I don't mind a rotating basketball tournament. It gives ACC fans a chance to plan vacations to different cities instead of just going to Greensboro every year.

But I feel differently with football. Panther Stadium gives us a central location. We thoroughly screwed the pooch picking Jacksonville when the league started it's championship games. I know they expected F$U to play scUM every year, so that probably wouldn't have been a mistake if they had made it. But Miami has only won the Coastal once, and its seriously doubtful they will become a dominant team like CU or F$U in the Atlantic.

Charlotte is the best geographic fit for a single long term football destination.

I am curious to know why you prefer a centralize location in football -- VTHokie2000 12/11/2018 12:42PM

2 other reasons I can get behind EDGEMAN on that -- jmanatVT 12/11/2018 2:44PM

We saw moving the football location was a epic failure -- EDGEMAN 12/11/2018 1:08PM

In terms of the "failure" in football, I do wonder if it was more -- VTHokie2000 12/11/2018 1:28PM
