CIAA reveals Basketball Tournament details
with Charlotte including reduced hotel rates
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Central Intercollegiate Athletic As-
sociation (CIAA) held a press conference last week to announce some
details of its new six-year
agreement with the City of
Charlotte and with Hornets
Sports & Entertainment to
host its annual Men's and
Women's Basketball Tour-
naments.
The event unveiled
plans for a new housing
program that will allow fans
to secure lodging in Center
City Charlotte at lower rates
that previous years directly
from the CIAA and to move early rounds of the tournament to the Good-
Sports and Bojangles' Coliseum Complex in 2017. Ticket sales and hotel
rooms associated with the Tournament were to be available via theciaa.
com beginning Sept. 8.
"We want to thank our hotel partners for coming to an agreement we
believe will meet the needs of our most loyal fans and those just being
introduced to the CIAA," said CIAA Commissioner Jacqie McWilliams.
McWilliams, City of Charlotte Mayor Dan Clodfelter, Mecklenburg
County Commission Chairman Trevor Fuller, Hornets President Fred
Whitfeld and Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority (CRVA) CEO Tom
Murray were on hand to honor the commitment made last March follow-
ing the 2014 tournament to bring new vision to the multi-day, citywide
celebration.
The CIAA also plans to relocate their conference headquarters to
Charlotte in the coming years. The contract specifes $100,000 in reloca-
tion support. The transition will enable the conference, the CRVA and
other Charlotte entities to more effectively partner in the community, pro-
viding increased visibility for the CIAA and helping to secure enhanced
sponsorships beneftting the 12 member-institutions.
The three-party contract was signed during the press announcement
and is set to be shared with the CIAA and CRVA boards of directors. Once
complete, the CRVA will share the contract upon request.
