[Vespid]

Hate to see ACC and NCAA inserting themselves into politics.

It's hard to lead by following!

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Extortion, pure and simple. 0.3% of the population, and they are worried about some kind of perceived discrimination, when it's the other 99.7% who are really the ones being discriminated against. But if the NCAA is going to pull this kind of crap (with the ACC following suit), then why not kick out BYU and Pepperdine and other "religious" schools which totally discriminate against gays and trannies?

Hopefully it moves further south rather than up north. Jacksonville would be ideal.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

When can we expect to see men on the women's basketball teams. If they are not going to "discriminate" then let's do that too. Be consistent

I live in NC. One of the problems is that it has become a political issue for the Governors race and state legislature which became Republican for the first time in the last election. Swafford was AD at UNC and UNC is about as liberal as they come at that school. I am sorry to see the ACC office becoming that political. One of the problems that I see is that there is no legal definition of transgender under the NC law so not sure who is actually excluded.

Orlando is a strong possibility for football, but they also have the FL high school playoffs that weekend. Atlanta is out since it hosts the sec title game. Nashville would be good, but no ACC connection there. So where now? Washington? Miami?

I would imagine that Atlanta could find a way to accommodate, but let the ACC and NCAA figure that out, since they already know so much. SHEESH

Step off the ledge @Supersizethatorder-mutt

It's going to be ok.

I'll second that!!! We have the largest Jumbotron on Earth!

Frankly, I don't think it's going to be ok. The country is going to hell in a handbasket.

The entire board of ACC college presidents deliberated and voted on the issue, not the ACC office, whatever that is. Blame the school presidents if you have to cast blame.

Move it to the Redskins stadium in Landover.

Like clock work I hear that every four years. After over 60 years of hearing that I am surprised that I haven't smelled sulfur yet.

Move it to the Redskins stadium in Landover.

The stadium has terrible sight lines and they don't really take good care of the turf. It will be a mess by december. Not the worst venue by my relatives who are season ticket holders still wish they played at rfk

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Is there a REAL definition for transgender anywhere? DNA says one thing; trannies say another. Which is correct? As an engineer, I KNOW which one is.

Whenever I am out of my field on something I defer to those who know more than I do. You might want to do some reading on this topic.

 

[tech_wreck47]

They should just move it to ATL so it's easier for the majority of GT fans to make it to the acccg when we play in it this year.

 

[deeeznutz]

Move it to the Redskins stadium in Landover.

Or Gillette Stadium up in Foxboro...would be pretty funny to see all the Clemson or FSU fans have to deal with December weather up north, plus it'd be easy for me to attend.

 

[Dottie1145]

Lets play in Athens, so while we play in our Conference Championship, the dwags can witness from the peanut gallery.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

Well let's see.
Oh yeah, ATL is going to compromise having the SECCG for the sake of the acccg. Right.

The ACCCG in Fla was such a huge success. Right.

So when does lil Buddy boy make us stop playing games in N.C.?

Maybe take us out of the ACC if he can't. We were such a huge success as an Indy after the dip****s took us out of the SEC.
