IMHO, the geographical center is absolutely IRRELEVANT for one simple reason: it assumes that all ACC schools value basketball equally. They don't. The center of the ACC is in North Carolina... but ONLY if you include FSU and Miami in the "average". Make no mistake: basketball is much bigger in New York and Boston than it is in Florida. By contrast, the "football center" of the ACC is further south - though Charlotte is not a bad approximation, TBH.

All of this completely ignores the REAL issue, which is "what's the best way for the ACC to grow fan bases and revenues?" So, is NYC the center of the ACC? Of course not, but that just doesn't matter - as long as it can sell out the tournament.
