ACC to consider title games in North Carolina again after HB2 repeal

The ACC will consider holding conference championship games in the state of North Carolina again, after lawmakers voted Thursday to repeal the controversial HB2 bathroom law.

"The recently passed legislation allows the opportunity to reopen the discussion with the ACC council of presidents regarding neutral site conference championships being held in the state of North Carolina," commissioner John Swofford said in a statement obtained by ESPN's Andy Katz. "This discussion will take place in the near future, and following any decisions by the ACC council of presidents, announcements will be forthcoming."

The ACC previously moved championship games out of the state once the bill was installed, and showed no willingness to give it another championship game until the law was repealed.

The NCAA also took action against North Carolina and relocated Rounds 1 and 2 of the NCAA tournament to South Carolina in an effort to push the former to abolish the discriminatory legislation.
