The city of Charlotte partnered with the CRVA and Charlotte Sports Foundation to place a bid for the tournaments that were once a local staple.

The CIAA basketball tournament, a significant event for historically Black colleges and universities, will not be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2024 as initially planned. The decision to relocate the tournament stems from a dispute over a new contract that would have extended Charlotte's hosting rights through 2026. The CIAA sought a more lucrative deal, but negotiations fell through, leading the organization to explore other potential host cities. This move has disappointed local businesses and fans who have enjoyed the economic and cultural benefits the tournament brings to Charlotte.
