According to ESPN, the ACC is looking at moving the location of their conference tournament into areas reflective of their expanded footprint.

I suppose this makes sense once UVA and GT go to the B1G, UNC and Duke to the SEC, and FSU, Clemson, NCSU, VPI, and The U leave for the XII. The ACC will eventually become bad BEast football plus Wake. The CG should shift north.
The C7 better be ready for a fight. They better not roll over and give up MSG.

It's up to MSG and Dolan, not the C7.

If all this happens, ND will pull a TCU and join another conference. Either the C7 or the B1G if they will cave and take them as a non-football member.
Then the ACC will merge with what's left of the A-10 after the C7 picks them over.

The one arena no one has mentioned is the Prudential Center. I wouldn't want to see the C7 go there, but some other conference (ACC, A10) sure could.

This sounds like some of the trash they were talking on the DaytonPride board about the C7.
The ACC is looking for a lot of things... foremost on that list is a legal precedent to enforce their exit penalty.
Deadlines were in September, no NY arena submitted a bid... This article is dumb.

As a Jersey guy the Rock is a fabulous facility. Not a bad seat in the entire arena; but the C7 should keep MSG along with Big East brand.

Neither will be easy to hold onto IMO.
Heard that this is going to be battle. C7 is pushing hard on this and really want it to happen.

Nearby is a great restaurant, The Spanish Tavern. World class.
