BC's official statement regarding Tuesday's ACC expansion decision


June 25, 2003

Boston College released the following statement on Wednesday, 6/25/03:

Boston College entered into discussions with the Atlantic Coast Conference regarding conference expansion because we felt it was in the best interest of our student-athletes and our athletics program. Those discussions took place over the last few months in accordance with ACC procedures and without any violations of our responsibilities to the Big East membership.

Our discussions with the ACC were based on a conference expansion proposal that included Miami and Syracuse. Yesterday, in the eleventh hour, the ACC instead voted to invite Virginia Tech and Miami and to exclude Boston College and Syracuse. This unexpected vote has ended our discussions with the ACC.

Today, representatives from the Big East institutions are engaged in discussions with all conference members, including Miami and Virginia Tech, regarding future conference configuration. Boston College is now focused on these discussions, including addressing those issues that have caused several Big East institutions to consider conference withdrawal.

I always supported expansion -- I just think Deep Blue's dream was too far fetched and over played. We did raid the BE, which I thought was a possibility.

Deep Blue, however, was raiding from nearly EVERY conference.

GT, FSU, UMD, and Clemson fans -- in general -- support expansion

I am all for expansion as long as it makes sense Geographically ACC teams should be on the Atlantic coast...and IMO they should be South of the Mason Dixon line as well...
