Swofford: Playing baseball tourney in SC is ‘terrific for us’

PINEHURST, N.C. —Now that the Confederate Flag has been removed from the State House Grounds in Columbia, the odds of the ACC Baseball Tournament returning to South Carolina has dramatically increased.

ACC Commissioner John Swofford told The Clemson Insider on Monday, “That’s terrific for us.”

Though the ACC Baseball Tournament has a home in Durham, N.C. the next three years, the Palmetto State could see it cross its borders from North Carolina in the future.

“There are great baseball fans in South Carolina and in particular Clemson baseball fans,” Swofford said following his state of the conference address in Pinehurst as part of the 2015 ACC Football Kickoff.
