The Atlantic Coast Conference will play a nine-game schedule in football and every team will compete in the ACC basketball tournaments once Syracuse and Pittsburgh join the league.The league announced Friday how it will incorporate the schools once they leave the Big East Conference. ACC commissioner John Swofford said Friday it's still unclear when that will happen since Big East bylaws require a 27-month notice for a school to leave."This just puts us in position of being further ready to accept them competitively as soon as they can join and as soon as that's worked out between the two schools and the Big East," Swofford said.The conference's annual winter meetings marked the first time representatives from Syracuse and Pittsburgh were involved in ACC discussions. They couldn't vote because they're not yet full members, though Swofford said each school was "a full participant" and "they were supportive of everything that was done."
