PROVIDENCE, R.I., March 12 (UPI) -- Notre Dame will officially leave the Big East Conference in time to join the Atlantic Coast Conference for the 2013-14 academic year, officials said Tuesday.
The Big East said an agreement had been reached for Notre Dame to leave the conference effective July 1. Notre Dame announced last September that it was joining the ACC in all sports except ice hockey and football, although it must play a certain number of ACC teams in football each fall.
