ACC moves future baseball tournaments
GREENSBORO (AP) - Unresolved disputes concerning the Confederate flag have led the Atlantic Coast Conference to move three future baseball tournaments out of South Carolina.
League officials said yesterday that the ACC instead will hold its championship in Durham in 2011 and 2013 and in Greensboro in 2012.
The ACC previously awarded the tournament to Myrtle Beach, S.C., from 2011 through 2013, but that decision drew criticism from the NAACP, which has boycotted South Carolina for nearly a decade for flying and then displaying the Confederate flag on the state-capitol grounds.
