Carolina Hurricanes sign lease extension; How Florida State can get out of ACC

The Carolina Hurricanes extend their lease with PNC Arena, keeping them in Raleigh, NC for at least the next 20 years. Developments around PNC Arena and in Raleigh are going to benefit the Canes, fans, NC State, and the local economy.

ACC schools have until August 15th to notify the conference if they intend to leave. Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State and others might not be able to leave easily, but they can fight their way out of the ACC by making things uncomfortable for the ACC and other schools to force their way into conference realignment that benefits them.

The Drive with Tim Donnelly airs weekdays 3-6pm on 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, North Carolina. Clips are published every evening after the show.
