THE BATTALI05
Miami, Virginia Tech one
step closer to joining ACC
By DAVID DROSCHAK
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREENSBORO, N.C. — In the most sur
prising move of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s
six-week expansion saga, the league has decid
ed to pursue only Miami and Virginia Tech, a
high-ranking conference source told The
Associated Press.
The move to go to ll schools wasn’t one of
the many scenarios presented since the ACC's
vote to expand on May 13.
After a 2 l/2-hour conference call fuesday
night, ACC commissioner John Swofford refused
to comment on whether Miami and Virginia Tech
— the Big East’s two dominant football schools
— had been offered invitations to join.
“We’re very close to bringing this
to a conclusion. I would expect us to
have an announcement in the next
couple of days,’’ Swofford said.
Virginia Tech called a Board of
Visitors meeting for 2 p.m.
Wednesday to discuss “matters
relating to its athletic conference
participation.” People answering
the phones at the offices of presi
dent Charles M. Steger, athletic
director Jim Weaver and universi
ty spokesman Larry Hincker
said all three were unavailable for
comment.
ACC spokesman Brian
Morrison said a four or five person delegation

Miami sports information director MarkPn)
said the school would have no comment uni
ACC announced its plans.
The ACC presidents voted to expand on
13, and conference officials visited Miat
Boston College and Syracuse to assess their fad
ities. Virginia Tech came into the picture Iasi
week, as part of a compromise suggested l)
Virginia president John T. Casteen 111.
Virginia Tech was one of five Big East football
schools that filed a lawsuit June 6 to try tostof
BC, Miami and Syracuse from leaving the con
ference. Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Rutgers ani
West Virginia were the other parties to the suit
Connecticut president Philip Austin sai

what was discussed on the call
“Until we get a better senst
an accurate sense, we have id
comment,” he said. “My objei

keep the Big East together as«
know it.”
A Connecticut judge is sched
uled to hear preliminary argu
ments Thursday in the suit.
Connecticut Attorney Genera
Richard Blumenthal said tit
' new expansion plan wil
from the league was sent to Blacksburg, Va., on
Wednesday for a site visit, as required by ACC
bylaws. Swofford was not part of the delegation.
The Washington Post, USA Today, The New
York Times and The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, quoting anonymous sources, report
ed that the ACC voted to extend invitations to
Miami and Virginia Tech, and that Syracuse and
Boston College — along with Miami the schools
talked about since the start — were not included.
The league source, speaking on condition of
anonymity, told the AP on Tuesday night that the
league presidents decided the only way expan
sion would work is if Miami and Virginia Tech
joined what would become an 11-team confer
ence. The source also said ACC presidents no
longer expect Syracuse and Boston College to be
part of the expansion process.
“We’re very close to being at the end of this,’
Swofford told reporters outside ACC headquarters.
He said the ACC presidents do not have
another teleconference scheduled.
“Each conference call has taken us a step
further and this was the closest one to the end,”
he said.
Asked whether the reports on Miami and
Virginia Tech were accurate, Swofford said he
wouldn’t comment on “reports and speculation
until we’re ready to make a definite announce-
affect the lawsuit.
“Even if the deal is different, our determina
tion is undiminished to hold accountable Mil:
and the ACC,” Blumenthal said late Tuesday.“We
will vigorously pursue our legal claims to proted
the Big East and recover for the harm done.On
legal cause is alive and well.”
In Tallahassee, Fla. Attorney General Cliarlit
Crist said Tuesday he was prepared to interverc
on behalf of Miami in the suit. Crist said Min
has the right to choose the conference itwantsio
play in.
“This is a fundamental dispute among athletic
conferences and universities,” Crist said, ci
was asked by Miami to intercede. “Universiliei
have the right to join any conference that invite
them. The law does not compel Miami, or am
institution, to rebuff a legitimate overture, aste
as existing contractual obligations are satisfied
If the ACC expands to 11 members, it w«il
be one short of the number necessary to holt
football conference championship game.
Tuesday’s conference call was the fifthtimfe
two weeks that the presidents met via phone as
they tried to finalize possible expansion. Suctiai
expansion could lead to a lucrative conference
football title game and television contract.
Any school leaving the Big East will havelo
pay a $1 million penalty, and that amount doubles
if the school leaves after June 30.
DSU hires Texas pitching coach
By Clayton Bellamy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. —
rank Anderson now has his
vn opportunity to bring life
ick to a traditional college
iseball powerhouse.
Anderson, who as pitching
iach helped the resurgent
onghorns win the 2002 NCAA
tampionship, has been hired as
jad baseball coach at Oklahoma
:ate, university officials
inounced Wednesday.
Financial terms of the five-
jar deal were not disclosed,
he Daily Oklahoman, quoting
i unnamed source, reported
at the contract will approach
1 million including apparel and
imp perquisites.
Anderson, 44, replaces Tom
olliday, who was fired last
month after failing to lead the
Cowboys to the NCAA tourna
ment for two straight seasons and
in three of the last four.
Athletics director Harry
Birdwell said he chose Anderson
after searching through about
100 candidates for a proven win
ner who can recruit top athletes
to OSU.
“He is loyal to the people who
are his superiors in the athletic
department,” Birdwell said at a
ceremony at the university. “And
he develops particularly deep
relationships with his players,
and they respect him.”
Anderson, who coached Texas
pitchers from 2000-2003, said he
chose Oklahoma State because of
its tradition, the intense commu
nity support for college baseball
and the chance to win right away.
“You don’t want to go some
place where the cupboard is
bare,” said Anderson, wearing i
black-and-orange OSU
“I don’t think the cupboard
bare here. They’ve got so®
great position players
think you have to shore up so®
of the pitching.”
The Cowboys finished It

on ships and appeared in li
College World Series from M
to 1996.
Anderson came to a Texas
team that was in a similar post
tion. The Longhorns had falterei
amid NCAA recruiting viola’
tions, even finishing with a losins
record in 1998.
