Nonetheless, a lawyer for four of the Big East schools thatsuedto block the ACC’s expansion said they would continue their court battle. Miami and Virginia Tech wi begin playing in the ACC as soon as the 2004-05 season. Both remain Big East members for 2003-04, since schedules haw already been made. Each school will pay the Bit East a $1 million exit fee and the ACC a $3 million entrance fee, (f Miami had made its intentions known after Monday, its exit fee could have doubled. Virginia Tech president Charles Steger said last week his school was joining the ACC, and formally accepted the offer Monday. The ACC originally sought to expand to 12 schools so it could offer a lucrative confer ence title game in football. While the league plans to seek another school, it also could ask the NCAA to change the 12- member requirement. Officials from several Big East schools tried to persuade the Hurricanes to stay put.
