The weeklong basketball championships feature the Charlotte-based conference’s men’s and women’s tournaments. The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority manages Bojangles Coliseum; the city owns the coliseum.
A visitors authority spokesperson told CBJ yesterday that the recently expired contract with the Big South will not be extended for 2024.
In a prepared statement, visitors authority CEO Tom Murray said, “We appreciated the opportunity to host the Big South’s men’s and women’s basketball championships at Bojangles Coliseum as a neutral site.”
