North Carolina Bill would make Fridays of ACC basketball tournaments a holiday
Posted Apr 6, 2021
North Carolina residents could avoid calling in sick to work or staying home from school to watch one day of the men’s and women’s ACC basketball tournaments under a bill filed Tuesday. The bill would designate Fridays of the men’s and women’s ACC Tournaments as a state holiday, adding to the 19 state holidays already on the North Carolina calendar.
