While the Big East made its move by adding Tulane in all sports and East Carolina in football only starting in 2014, Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford was attempting to form a consensus about what move the ACC will make after losing Maryland to the Big Ten last week.
Two conference calls among ACC member schools came up with three different agenda.
The word from the Atlantic Coast Conference about expansion is that there is no word–yet.
In the aftermath of Maryland’s announcement that it was leaving the ACC after 59 years to join the Big Ten, ACC officials went into their scramble mode. According to sources familiar with the process, a league wide conference call was held on Wednesday to discuss the options for the conference which is scheduled to add Syracuse and Pittsburgh in all sports next season and Notre Dame in all sports but football within the next two years.
Losing Maryland leaves the ACC at 13 teams, which is not the optimum number in terms of scheduling.
