RALEIGH, N.C. -- Theres a lot for the Atlantic Coast Conference to sort out between now and December -- on and off the field.Louisvilles Lamar Jackson and Clemsons Deshaun Watson have the inside track in a compelling Atlantic Division race, and No. 15 Miami sure looks like the team to beat in the Coastal.But the biggest question looming over the league is where those two division winners will meet in the title game, after it was pulled from Charlotte over concerns about a state law that limits the protections of LGBT people.Where, when and how a replacement will be selected and announced is unclear.League athletic directors referred questions about the process to the ACC office, and league officials declined multiple interview requests to discuss the topic.Nobody from the ACC has spoken publicly about it since the leagues council of presidents voted last week at a regularly scheduled meeting to relocate 10 neutral-site championships from North Carolina until the law known as HB2 is repealed.Signed into law earlier this year by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, HB2 requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates. It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections.In announcing the decision to relocate the title game, ACC Commissioner John Swofford said the process of making such a move in only 2+ months our next challenge. The league also must find new homes for the womens basketball and baseball championships, among others.Among the issues that must be addressed:- Making sure there are enough hotel rooms available for the teams, their fans and the conference officials who will attend.- Arranging the activities surrounding the game.- Issuing refunds to those who already purchased game tickets for Charlotte.Certainly, theres a short timeframe in transitioning some of our championships, the football championship logistically being the most difficult, Swofford said. But when youre making decisions on principle, you dont pick and choose in terms of specific championships.Charlotte had been a convenient, successful host the past six years, drawing an average crowd of nearly 70,000. With four ACC teams in the Top 25 -- No. 3 Louisville, No. 5 Clemson, No. 13 Florida State and Miami -- this years matchup figures to be worthy of its prime-time slot on either ESPN or ABC.They put on such a great show, North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said of Charlotte. Fedoras Tar Heels lost to Clemson last year.Now that Charlotte is out, the question everybody is asking is where the game will be held.Swofford said when he announced the move that the ACC had reached out in a small way to potential hosts, saying there were probably limited possibilities while not identifying them.Were not there yet, but we feel like we can move reasonably quickly, he said.They can probably rule out both of the two previous sites in Florida -- Jacksonville and Tampa -- because theyre already booked that weekend: South Florida plays Central Florida in Tampa on Dec. 3, and the NFLs Jacksonville Jaguars play at home on Dec. 4. The ACC title game was played in Jacksonville from 2005-07, then in Tampa for two years before moving to Charlotte.One obvious possibility is Orlando, Florida. That city annually hosts two bowl games with ACC ties -- the Citrus and Russell Athletic bowls have agreements to take its teams -- and this year an opening game between Mississippi and Florida State was played at 65,000-seat Camping World Stadium.A spokesman for Florida Citrus Sports, the group that organizes those games, declined comment, referring all questions to the ACC.The Washington area also could be a candidate. The ACC is no stranger to the metro D.C. area -- its mens basketball tournament was held in downtown Washington in March -- and FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, has hosted a handful of college games, with West Virginia playing BYU there this weekend. Plus, the stadium will be available: The Redskins dont have any home games between Nov. 20 and Dec. 19.When asked about the possibility, team spokesman Tony Wyllie said his focus was solely on the Redskins next opponent, the New York Giants.Another option for the ACC would be to follow the lead of the Pac-12, American Athletic Conference and Conference USA, and play the title game on campus, perhaps at the home field of the highest ranked team. That would put even more at stake for Louisville next week when the Cardinals visit Clemson -- which still must play at Florida State on Oct. 29 to complete the Atlantic Divisions brutal round robin.I dont have any thoughts other than I hope were in the championship. Well go to Pluto and play, wherever, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. Just tell us where its at and well go play.That seems to be what everyone is waiting for from the ACC.---AP Sports Writers Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Pete Iacobelli in Clemson, South Carolina; Will Graves in Pittsburgh; and John Kekis in Syracuse, New York, contributed to this report.

Air Max 270 Canada Online . JOHNS, N. Rookie coach Andrew Gaze is on track to give the Sydney Kings a shot at the NBL title after leading his team to their second best start in franchise-history.New NBA recruit Steve Blake racked up 12 points on debut as Gazes Kings toppled Brisbane 87-78 in Sydney on Sunday to claim their fifth straight win and cement top spot on the ladder.It is their most successful start to a campaign since legendary coach Brian Goorjian led the Kings on a seven-game winning streak to open their 2002-03 championship-winning season.Goorjian went on to claim two more titles in a memorable three-peat.The Kings exacted revenge on the Bullets at Qudos Bank arena with a nine-point victory, just four weeks after losing their only game of the campaign in the season-opener.They next take on Cairns on Saturday, beginning a tough stretch of four games in eight days.Cairns are tough. We played them third game and they were in a position to win. We lost Kevin (Lisch) in that game for the second half. We had to dig deep, Gaze said.Its going to be a tough little home and away battle that weve got coming up. We drop all those four and were back in the middle of the pack, which is not inconceivable.Gaze is confident of having Lisch back, the reigning MVP and captain ruled out of the Bullets game with a calf strain.His availability will be huge a fillipp for a Kings team forced to play Blake for all but four minutes.ddddddddddddhe rotation I can envisage between Steve, Jason (Cadee) and Kevin, where theyre not playing 37, 38 minutes and they can play at a higher intensity and get through that, thatll be better for them as well, Gaze said.I think theres a lot to like about our team, but its very early days yet.With two-time NBA champion Josh Powell also coming off the bench for the Kings, Bullets coach Andrej Lemanis was envious of the teams ability to spend big on their squad.Asked of his initial reaction to Blakes signing, he said:First reaction, they must have lots of money given the other talent they have on the roster.Obviously its a great luxury for the Kings to be able to bring two NBA guys, veteran NBA guys off the bench. Good on them for being able to have the financial resources to do that.In other games in round four, Cairns finally won their first game of the season with a 83-75 thriller over Melbourne United in their home-opener.Illawarra broke a four-game losing streak courtesy of a tight 81-76 upset of defending champions Perth, while the New Zealand Breakers scored a franchise-high 119 points in a 26-point rout of Adelaide.
