Report: Pitt, Syracuse Apply To Join ACC
PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) – Conference shakeups around the NCAA may not be done just yet.
According to an Associated Press report, 10 schools have applied to join the Atlantic Coast Conference, including Pitt and Syracuse.
If the move goes forward, Pittsburgh and Syracuse would become the fourth and fifth schools to leave the Big East for the ACC in the past decade. Virginia Tech and Miami joined in 2004, and Boston College followed a year later as the ACC's 12th member.
Pittsburgh and Syracuse are currently members of the Big East Conference. Syracuse is a founding member, while Pitt joined in 1982.
Should the move to the ACC go through, it would be a full membership move.
Officials would not comment on which other schools also applied.
