The decision includes 10 neutral-site championships this academic year, which means relocating the ACC football title game that was scheduled to be played in Charlotte in December.No announcement was made on where the championship events will be held.The decision to move the neutral site championships out of North Carolina while HB2 remains the law was not an easy one, said Clemson President James P. Clements, chairman of the leagues council. But it is consistent with the shared values of inclusion and non-discrimination at all our institutions.On Monday, the NCAA said it was relocating seven of its championships scheduled to be played in the state, including the mens basketball first- and second-round matchups scheduled for next March in Greensboro, North Carolina.ACC Commissioner John Swofford said after the NCAAs decision that his league would review its next steps.The law requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates. It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections. HB2 was signed into law earlier this year by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, who has defended it as a commonsense safety and security measure.McCrory said in a statement that the legal system will ultimately decide the issue, adding that I strongly encourage all public and private institutions to both respect and allow our nations judicial system to proceed without economic threats or political retaliation toward states. His statement largely mirrored the one he issued Tuesday in the aftermath of the NCAAs decision.Clements said the leaders had an open, honest dialogue that took in all sides of the issue.There are a lot of parts to the discussion, how the community is affected, the Clemson president said. Im really happy with how everybody came together.Swofford said the presidents choice was made on principle.I think it was the right decision. A difficult one in ways, but an easy one in ways considering the principles involved, he said. Thats where our presidents laid their bed so to speak, and I think we landed in the right place.Swofford said identifying replacement venues is in the early stages, but hopes to get locations lined up as quickly ass possible.ddddddddddddFinding a football stadium as ACC-friendly as Charlotte might be difficult. The championship games been played at Bank of America Stadium for the past six seasons with an average attendance of 69,641. In the previous two seasons (2008-09) the game was held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida and averaged 49,412 spectators.Well do what we need to do, Swofford said. Its a challenge, our next challenge.Footballs not the only sport affected. The ACC planned to hold 14 of its 21 championship events in North Carolina this academic year, with the majority of those at neutral, off-campus, sites, and the others either on the campuses or the home venues of Wake Forest (field hockey), Duke (fencing), North Carolina (softball) and N.C. State (wrestling, cross country).The ACC decision came the same day the NCAA reopened the bidding process for those championships it pulled from the state. The NCAA said bids for those events are due Sept. 27 and hopes to decide the new sites by Oct. 7.Swofford said the ACC would consider the issue again in the spring if nothing changed in North Carolinas law. Such prohibitions can last for quite some time: The NCAAs ban on South Carolina hosting neutral-site championships for flying the Confederate flag on Statehouse grounds lasted from 2001 until it came down last summer.This action by the ACC is the latest in a steady stream of public and business backlash against the law.The NBA moved its 2017 All-Star Game to New Orleans instead of hosting it in Charlotte as originally scheduled because of the law. Dukes mens basketball schedule had to be reconfigured when Albany backed out due to that states travel ban, and the Vermont womens basketball team has canceled a December trip to play North Carolina in Chapel Hill.Entertainers like Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Ringo Starr have canceled plans to play in North Carolina. And PayPal reversed plans to open a 400-employee operation center in Charlotte.The ACC and NCAA decisions have been a blow to North Carolinas tourism and business communities, which rely on servicing fans attending major sporting events.Scott Dupree, executive director of the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, said the recent announcements by the NCAA and ACC were unprecedented and historically bad for the states sports event industry.It was probably the worst ever in terms of lost business and damage to our brand, he said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
