Is ACC Championship Game heading back to Charlotte?

If the Clemson football team is able to make the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game for a third straight year in 2017, it likely will get to play the game in Charlotte, N.C.

North Carolina Governor Ray Cooper signed a new bill on Thursday repealing the state’s House Bill 2 law, which more than likely will cause the ACC to overturn its decision from last year to remove its championships from the Tar Heel State, thus returning its football championship game back to the Queen City.

HB2, as it became known as, altered protections for members of the LGBT community, including requiring transgender people in public buildings to use the bathroom of their biological sex.
