History
Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, and Wake Forest were charter members of the ACC. The seven ACC charter members had been aligned with the Southern Conference, but left primarily due to the league's ban on postseason play. After drafting a set of rules for the creation of a new league, they formally withdrew from the Southern Conference at the Spring Meeting on the morning of May 1953. The bylaws were ratified and the ACC officially came into existence in June 1953. In December 1953, officials convened in Greensboro, North Carolina, and admitted Virginia into the conference.

In 1971, the ACC lost a member in the University of South Carolina. The ACC operated with seven members until the addition of former Southeastern Conference member Georgia Tech from the Metro Conference in April 1978. The addition of Florida State, also from the Metro Conference, in July 1991, brought the total to nine. The ACC added three members from the Big East during the 2003 cycle of conference realignment. The expansion was not without controversy, as Connecticut, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia filed lawsuits against the ACC and against Miami and Boston College for conspiring to weaken the Big East.
