Heck of a week, McCrory! Not only did the NCAA give North Carolina the heave-ho, now the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has too. Jason Kirk writes:
The ACC followed on Wednesday, announcing its December conference [football] championship will relocate from Charlotte to an unspecified location:
As members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the ACC Council of Presidents reaffirmed our collective commitment to uphold the values of equality, diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination. Every one of our 15 universities is strongly committed to these values and therefore, we will continue to host ACC Championships at campus sites. We believe North Carolina House Bill 2 is inconsistent with these values, and as a result, we will relocate all neutral site championships for the 2016-2017 academic year. All locations will be announced in the future from the conference office.
Wonder if Gov. Pat McCrory, who's desperately trying to make it the responsibility of the courts to fix his reprehensible law, is still running those pro-HB2 ads.
