ACC basketball tournament in New York a real possibility

Swofford, Gross call holding ACC basketball tournament
in New York a real possibility

The ACC is committed to holding its annual affair in Greensboro through 2015.
Speculation has swirled since the ACC announced it would add Syracuse, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and eventually Louisville that the ACC would eventually claim New York for its basketball tournament. And in separate conversations, ACC Commissioner John Swofford and Gross made the possibility seem likely.

"New York is obviously such a media capital of the world, a great and fertile recruiting ground and a true college basketball mecca," Swofford said. "So I think we would be short-sighted and foolish not to give New York City every consideration as we look toward the future of our tournament."

The ACC won't go to Barclays - but they will end up going to MSG.

I'd love to see the ACC tourney rotated between New York, Greensboro, and Tampa (just so I can go again :lol: )
