AMF Barclays Center

Looks like the ACC is moving into Barclays for their tournament once the A-10 contract expires:

Needless to say, they should bring the A-10 lovefest back to UD Arena so there will actually be butts in seats when they show the crowd.

The A-10 has a 5 year deal 2013-2017 - so I expect it would be in 2018?

They've already decided to dump us after one year?

The folks in Greensboro, North Carolina won't be happy about this.

I talked to a couple of locals a couple years ago down there at the NCAA tournament, and they were talking like Greensboro was going to become the permanent home of the ACC tournament.

Greensboro has hosted this tournament quite a bit.

With all that continues to change, it is probably a 50/50 chance whether UD will even be in the A-10 at the end of the A-10 tourney run in Brooklyn.

They only went out with us because nobody else was around.

If UD were offered membership in the Big East, they should agree to decline that invitation in exchange for making UD Arena the permanent home to the Atlantic 10 tournament once the Barclays contract expires. Even if SLU left and we were left without a single Midwestern compatriot, then by putting the A-10 tourney in Dayton, the lack of Midwestern presence would be offset by a tourney in our backyard.

Not going to happen, but that would be a pretty sweet deal!

Might as well ask for a bye into the tourney finals every year, too. That would make for good crowd for TV.

I'm reading that as a one year thing.
