New North Carolina bill would require UNC, NC state to exit ACC if state is boycotted again

North Carolina legislators filed a bill this week that would require North Carolina and NC State to withdraw from the ACC should the conference decide to boycott the state again.

Last year, the ACC decided to pull its neutral-site championship games and tournaments out of North Carolina because of House Bill 2, the controversial law that limited legal protections for the LGBTQ community.

In March, the North Carolina legislature passed a measure that repealed House Bill 2. As a result, the ACC said the football championship game would return to Charlotte, N.C., and all other neutral-site championships that had existing contracts would return as well, beginning with the 2017-18 calendar.
