Charlotte is believed to be the front runner to land the ACC. The conference has been based in Greensboro since its start in 1953.
The 15-member ACC includes four N.C. schools: Duke University, N.C. State, UNC Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest University.
In October, the ACC disclosed the conference, after a review by national real estate consultant Newmark Group Inc., had decided to consider cities beyond Greensboro for its headquarters office. A vote by the 15-member board that runs the ACC, made up of each school’s president, will determine where the league goes.
