ACC Commissioner Comments on Miami and Virginia Tech

---

"The Atlantic Coast Conference is pleased that both the University of

Miami and Virginia Tech have accepted invitations to join the

Conference beginning in the 2004-05 academic year. Because of this

expansion, the Conference may well be stronger than at any point in

its history. The addition of Miami and Virginia Tech to the ACC will

undoubtedly benefit all of the conference's student-athletes. Our

student-athletes want to compete against the best and our fans want

to see the best competition. Both the academic and athletic profiles

of Miami and Virginia Tech fit well with the league's current

members. We look forward to tomorrow evening's press conference in

Greensboro where we will officially welcome Miami and Virginia Tech

as the newest members of our conference and discuss the conference's

plans for its future."
