Barclays negotiates with A-10, ACC


Officials for the Barclays Center are negotiating with the ACC and the Atlantic 10 to work out a deal for 2017 postseason tournament dates that could involve a scheduling alliance and nonconference doubleheaders between the conferences, multiple sources told ESPN on Friday.

But the A-10 has a five-year deal with the Barclays Center that finishes with the 2017 tournament. The A-10 is open to moving the days of its 2017 tournament if it would get something in return from the ACC in terms of scheduling with the league to help raise its profile, a source with direct knowledge told ESPN. But that won't work for the Barclays Center.

Barclays Center officials are talking with the A-10 about giving up its 2017 dates there and have suggested possibly moving the conference to Nassau Coliseum, which will be under the Barclays property and is scheduled for a renovation. The New York Islanders are moving to the Barclays Center in 2015.

So, which A-10/ACC hoops match-ups do you want to see first?

Barclays Center Announces Agreements with A-10 and ACC
Atlantic 10 Championship Extended in Brooklyn for 2019, 2020 and 2021

The ACC Tournament will be played at Barclays Center in 2017 and ’18. The A-10 will continue to hold its championship at Barclays Center in 2015 and 2016 and then return to the venue for three years in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The ACC and the A-10 will play inter-conference doubleheaders at Barclays Center in 2015, 2016 and 2017. In addition, the A-10 has secured a spot for its teams to participate in the annual BROOKLYN HOOPS events at Barclays Center

I'm hoping this is just the beginning of a long-term scheduling alliance and tournament rotation between the ACC and A-10.

That map is physically missing Florida State and Miami; plus it somewhat has a dot for 'Cuse, but forgot their name.

Yep. But you get the drift... (btw, I fixed Syracuse; Florida just won't fit)
