Gavitt suggests ACC add only one school

Big East Conference founder Dave Gavitt supports a compromise plan that calls for only Miami to join the Atlantic Coast Conference in the ACC&#39;s bid for expansion. <br> <br> The Associated Press has obtained a statement from Gavitt saying, ``the Big East and the ACC should agree to collaborate on ideas to strengthen both conferences, including the idea of an inter-conference championship game and other forms of confederation.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The nine-team ACC has been talking about expanding by inviting three, or possibly four, Big East teams to join. The addition of Boston College, Miami, Syracuse and perhaps Virginia Tech could lead to a lucrative ACC football title game but could seriously damage the Big East. <br> <br> So far, the ACC has been unable to come up with the necessary seven votes needed to move forward with expansion. Duke, North Carolina and Virginia have been opposed to inviting B.C., Miami and Syracuse.
