Sapakoff: ACC, NCAA add to problems, not solutions

And you thought the NCAA and Atlantic Coast Conference were strictly about sports, that wonderful respite from the real world.

Surprise.

The sitting U.S. president ran on a platform against gay marriage partly to win states like North Carolina and now the ACC will select a new football championship game site because it doesn’t like the way North Carolina wants transgender people to select bathrooms at government buildings.

Imagine the castaway football fan’s thoughts as he or she emerges from a cave in the South Pacific after seven-plus years without ESPN.

But it’s true.
