Pitt, Syracuse introduced as new ACC members in conference call
Posted Sep 18, 2011
The Atlantic Coast Conference has extended its northern reach, adding Pittsburgh and Syracuse. Now the question becomes, will the league stop there -or keep growing to 16? The ACC announced Sunday that its council of presidents unanimously voted to accept Pittsburgh and Syracuse, a move that increases its membership to 14 and sends the Big East scrambling -again -to replace two of its cornerstone programs.
