RALEIGH, N.C. — Sixty-nine years after its founding in a smoke-filled room inside of the old Sedgefield Inn, the ACC is leaving the city and relocating its headquarters to Charlotte, the league announced on Tuesday.
The conference’s board of directors, made up of presidents and chancellors of all 15 of the ACC’s members, finalized in recent weeks what the ACC described as a “unanimous” decision. The league will move its offices to Charlotte in 2023, ending a nearly 70-year run in which its home was in the city of its birth.
“The board is strong in our belief that this relocation is in the best interest of the ACC,” Vincent Price, the Duke president and chairman of the conference’s board of directors, said during a conference call Tuesday morning. “We’re excited about the significant opportunities this will afford the conference and all of our member institutions.
