Tommy Bowden on the Addition of Miami and Virginia Tech

---

"We have made the ACC much stronger in football. Either

Miami or Virginia Tech have played in the National Championship game

three of the last four years. We just added two top 10 programs to

our conference. It certainly enhances our conference's credibility

on a national scale.

" I know our players, our coaching staff, and our fans will be

excited to see those teams play at Clemson. Having Miami in the

league will give us an ACC presence in South Florida, and help our

recruiting efforts in that area. There are many outstanding

prospects there.

"Clemson has not played Miami in several years, but we have

first hand knowledge of the level of play at Virginia Tech having

played them in 1999 and 2000.
