| Description | "Nine U.S. senators from the home states of the other Big East schools wrote to the leaders of Miami, Boston College and Syracuse on Wednesday in an effort to stop them from joining the ACC.
Senators from West Virginia, Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania said the defection would devastate the Big East, erode the progress its schools have made in women's sports and "send a troubling message to student-athletes across America."
The letter was signed by Sens. Joe Lieberman and Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn.; Frank Lautenberg and Jon Corzine, D-N.J.; Robert C. Byrd and John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va.; George Allen and John Warner, R-Va.; and Arlen Specter, R-Pa. It was sent to Miami president Donna Shalala, Boston College president William P. Leahy and Syracuse chancellor Kenneth A. Shaw." |
