ACC Moves Tourney Over Confederate Flag Dispute

GREENSBORO, N.C.

Unresolved disputes concerning the Confederate flag have led the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to move three future baseball tournaments out of South Carolina.

 

Conference officials said Monday that the ACC instead will hold its championship in Durham, N.C., in 2011 and 2013 and in Greensboro in 2012.

 

The ACC previously awarded the tournament to Myrtle Beach, S.C., from 2011-13, but that decision drew criticism from the NAACP, which has boycotted South Carolina for nearly a decade for flying and then displaying the Confederate flag on state capitol grounds.
