CLT was a horrible choice - the issue is the conference has historically had decision making that disproportionately favors the NC schools.  It bothered USC, GT, Maryland, FSU…and Syracuse (and probably others, but all of the above are well documented).  Moving from Greensboro to CLT did nothing to signal to all members anything had changed, and in fact it reinforced that if you had issues, they weren’t going to be addressed - this was and is an NC-centric conference.

The problem was there really wasn’t another viable alternative.  DC would have been a great pick if Maryland was still in the ACC - it’s not as viable with them in the Big Ten.  NYC is way too far away from the core of the ACC - I think DC was about as far north as they could legitimately choose.  Atlanta was an option, arguably better than CLT - but as a fan of a northern school in the ACC, the headquarters moving to the Deep South is unappealing.

So my opinion is the argument over CLT as the headquarters is one of the most pointless I’ve seen on this board - it was a horrible choice that the conference really didn’t have any choice but to make.
