The ACC Nation's Morning Edition

The ACC baseball tournament is heading to Fenway Park. It will be a few years, but at the conference's spring meetings the schools voted to play the tourney at Boston's Fenway in 2009. While you would think everyone is thrilled at the news - getting a chance to play at an historic venue like Fenway and all - that's not the case, as this story points out.

The schools also voted on where to host the ACC men's basketball tournament in years to come.

Paul Woody, the Times-Dispatch's NFL writer, chimes in on Marcus Vick and his chances in Miami.

While most of the talk around baseball circles this year is how well the ACC is doing, here's a shocker: Florida State needs to win two of three from NC State this weekend or they will be the eighth seed in the tournament this year. Maybe that just means the conference is better than anyone thought and the traditional powers, like FSU, need to learn that.

Carolina also thinks they need a sweep this weekend after dropping two of three to Virginia last weekend.

Sidney Lowe finished filling out his staff with Pete Strickland, the former Coastal Carolina coach.

Finally, Carolina and Duke play tonight. In women's tennis. In California. The two schools are in the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.
