NC bill proposes NC State, UNC leaving conference if ACC boycotts state

If the ACC boycotts the state of North Carolina again, a new bill proposed on Tuesday before the North Carolina legislature would pull NC State and the University of North Carolina from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

In September, the ACC pulled all future ACC championship games out of the state of North Carolina in response to House Bill 2.

Duke and Wake Forest would not be withdrawn from the ACC because they are not publicly funded, according to the Washington Post.
The ACC has not yet provided comment on the new bill.
