Virginia Tech is now in the same conference for all sports as Pitt and Syracuse. Notre Dame is also in the same league in all sports but football. Welcome to 2003.
The Hokies officially accepted their invitation to the ACC in the summer of 2003, then played one more year in the Big East as lame ducks. They kissed the Panthers and the Orange (in case you didn't know, they are the Orange now, not the Orangemen) goodbye. Tech fans were happy to be escaping so they could start playing ACC teams in a more ideal geographic setting.
