contact by one year ACC Commissioner Gene Corrigan said the one-year extension was all that was asked for by Rock Hill officials was a hugely successful move for Corrigan said was one of those who originally opposed (Rock Hill) because I felt the tournament done that well in North Carolina (it was moved from Fayetteville) had no idea that Rock Hill would do the kind of job it did The whole thing was There was a similar reason for keeping the baseball tournament in Greenville SC rather than move it to the 10000-seat APP MEETINGS Knights Castle There was not a significant financial difference in the two proposals and the faculty representatives and athletic directors decided concerns about a perceived home-field advantage for Clemson merit moving the event Football TV schedule
