There was no clear consensus, but there was a clear decision.
The Southern Conference announced Friday that it would honor its commitments to hold conference championships in North Carolina in the 2016-17 school year.
The state came under fire in the wake of “House Bill 2,” which some believe can lead to discrimination against the LGBT community. That led to the NCAA announcing it will be moving seven postseason events out of North Carolina, which included the opening weekend of the national men’s basketball tournament games that were set for March 17 and 19 in Greensboro.
A few days later, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced it would be moving its championship events, which included the ACC football title game in Charlotte, out of the state.
On Friday, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association decided to move eight of its 10 championship games out of North Carolina. Due to time constraints, it wasn’t able to move its basketball tournaments.
