TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Pittsburgh and Syracuse submitted letters of application to the Atlantic Coast Conference and are "likely gone" from the Big East, high ranking ACC and Big East officials told CBSSports.com.
Pittsburgh and Syracuse independently submitted letters of application to the ACC, a league source told CBSSports.com.
"There is no scenario where a president applies to a league and isn't admitted," a Big East official told CBSSports.com.
Me:
The ACC also upped the buyout clause for schools in conference to $20 million, so it looks like they are up to 14 teams. Most likely suspects to finish it off at 16 teams include UConn, Rutgers, Villanova (if football upgraded) with Notre Dame and possibly Texas (with a partner?) as outside possibilities.
Good gets for the ACC...
