Barclays Center Announces Agreements with ACC and Atlantic 10

ACC Tournament comes to Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2017 and 2018
Atlantic 10 Championship Extended in Brooklyn for 2019, 2020 and 2021

BROOKLYN (March 26, 2014) – Barclays Center announced today a two-year agreement with the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and an extension with the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) that secures postseason conference tournaments in Brooklyn’s major sports and entertainment venue through 2021.

The ACC Men's Basketball 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.

“It’s exciting to bring the elite ACC and its storied men’s basketball tournament history to Brooklyn,” said Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. “We’re looking forward to extending our Atlantic 10 partnership starting in 2019 through 2021 and creating competitive inter-conference doubleheaders with the ACC and the A-10. I want to thank ACC Commissioner John Swofford and Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette McGlade for their commitment to Barclays Center and to Brooklyn. It’s clear that our position with both Conferences validates Barclays Center as the leading college basketball venue in the country.”

“We are pleased that the ACC Basketball Tournament will be played at Barclays Center in 2017 and 2018,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “Barclays Center has quickly emerged as one of the premier sports and entertainment venues in the world and Brooklyn is a hot spot within the New York marketplace, which is an important part of our league’s new footprint. I appreciate the cooperation and ongoing relationship with Bernadette McGlade and I want to thank Brett Yormark for his tireless efforts as this is an outstanding opportunity for our players, coaches, alumni and fans that continue to support the ACC and our 15 member institutions.”

“Playing the A-10 Championship in Barclays Center is fantastic, and securing a three year extension is a great opportunity for the conference. Working in a collaborative way with Brett Yormark and John Swofford to negotiate a plan that is a win-win for all involved has been a good experience,” stated Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. “This agreement that creates a scheduling partnership, the ability to play the A-10 Championship in other areas of our footprint and returning to the NY market is exciting, securing a solid future for the A-10.”

The ACC Tournament has been held in seven different cities and 11 venues since the inaugural event in March of 1954. The Greensboro (N.C.) Coliseum serves as host in 2015 and Washington D.C. will host the tournament in 2016.

The Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship just completed its second year at Barclays Center following six years at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. It has also been held in Cincinnati, Ohio, Philadelphia, Pa. and Dayton, Ohio.

The Barclays Center college basketball platform BROOKLYN HOOPS Tournament Play is presented by Ticketmaster, with other partners including Applebee’s, GEICO, High Point Solutions, McDonald’s, Modell’s, JetBlue, New York Life, PC Richard & Son, and Honda.

RE: Barclays Center/ACC full press release
I like this move and have no problem with a hoops scheduling agreement with the A-Ten. Since Nova and Georgetown refuse to play Pitt in a home and home I have no problem replacing them with St. Joe's, Temple and George Washington as out of conference games.

It won't be Temple since they are in the American, but I agree. Pitt will want to play in this Barclay's series.

I don't recall live streaming the press conferences and arranging multi-year deals with mid-major conferences to order to play in the second fiddle venue of any other city. Someone(s) must have really targeted a presence in NYC as an important strategic goal, and it can't just be Syracuse and Pitt.

Yeah, my bad about Temple. They switch so damn much I can't keep track of them anymore. But yes, I also will want Pitt to be in the Barclay's series as much as possible.

Is there also going to be a scheduling agreement with the A-Ten outside of the Barclay's series? I thought that's what I heard? For instance I wouldn't mind a home and home series with St. Joe's so Pitt can continue to play in Philly.

Yeah the old hoops only schools are acting like scorned lovers against the old BE football schools that left for the ACC.

Not with Syracuse. But Nova and Georgetown have little to gain by playing Pitt home-and-home, at least the way they see things now.

G'town won't play us because they don't like our fans filling up their home court.

The St. Johns and Nova games we have are great though.

Well, I think that the ACC has, for sure. It is a big game of Risk with the Big Ten, I think.

ND is always very interested in playing any sport in the New York City area.

Ummm Temple had been in the A-10 since 1982 until their move this year to the American.

Football sure has bounced around a lot though. Big East, MAC, Big East, AAC... so I totally forgot where they had played their hoops.

Very, very smart move by the ACC to start getting their tournament in the core of the New York area. Definitely have one-upped the Big Ten on this.

There is a possibility that we could see an ACC/A-10/ESPN alliance and a B1G/BE/Fox alliance.

I have no doubt that MSG works something out between the BE and B1G because of their dependence/relationship with Fox.

Once the B1G cracks open the BE deal with MSG, I see the ACC playing there years down the road.

Obviously, it was rhetorical. When it leaks that Roy and K are in support of it, you know it is going to happen. The ACC needs it there, and the home office is pushing it. Everyone around the table realizes it. It is only fans that stomp their feet about no longer having 60 minute drives and $60 hotel rooms that don't.

I think the BE is going to be in MSG through 2026. I don't think they're going to give and inch on that it all. It drew well enough this year. Whether that can be sustained is another question, but the BE will probably will be ok because, simply, it is NY and they have SJU and Georgetown. But in 2026, the ACC may be ready to commit to a longer deal.

that's what happens when you sue them. those schools can really hold a grudge.....

The lawsuit in itself was nothing. The staunch opposition by Pitt, WVU, and Rutgers to Villanova moving their football into the Big East is more likely a source of residual tension. They certainly aren't inclined to do Pitt any favors, particularly when you also consider that Pitt has more to gain than they do, at least in regards to exposure in their recruiting back yard. Pitt doesn't have the juice of Syracuse either, so if you're picking between high profile non-conference opponents, Pitt loses just on that.

But Pitt can just schedule a home and home with Temple if they really wanted into Philly. Pitt has already committed to playing in NYC at least once a year in one tournament or another. They need some a exposure in Philly or the DC area now though. I doubt they'd play GW in their Smith Center. I could see Pitt trying to schedule Maryland at some point if GU doesn't become receptive.
