Sunday vote favors Eagles' inclusion

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press


RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Atlantic Coast Conference's presidents and chancellors voted Sunday to invite Boston College to join the league as its 12th member.


If the school accepts, the ACC would have enough members to stage a lucrative league championship football game.


"Now that the vote has been taken, we look forward to a strong academic partnership and collaboration should Boston College accept," North Carolina State chancellor Marye Anne Fox told The Associated Press on Sunday.


Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo would only say Sunday morning that he had ``no confirmation'' of the offer.


An ACC spokesman declined comment except to say the league planned a news conference later Sunday.


Miami and Virginia Tech were added to the nine-team conference in June and will begin play in 2004.


Boston College and Syracuse were the Big East schools in the ACC's original expansion plans, but were voted down in favor of adding the Hurricanes and Hokies. Duke, North Carolina and N.C. State voted against adding Boston College.


ACC bylaws require campus visits of each school being considered for prospective membership. That requirement was satisfied before ACC presidents initially rejected Boston College for membership in June.


At least seven of the ACC's nine member schools had to approve offering membership to Boston College. It was not immediately known Sunday how many voted in favor of expansion.


The other members of the ACC are Virginia, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Wake Forest and Clemson.
