Marrone excited about joining ACC (AP)

SYRACUSE, N.Y. ? Two days after his Orange played one of the more storied football programs in the country, Syracuse's Doug Marrone wasn't surprised that the first question he fielded on Monday wasn't about the loss at Southern California.

After all, he was even pestered by a reporter at Saturday night's game against the Trojans, once the news broke. By Sunday, it was official: long-time Big East members Syracuse and Pittsburgh were leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Marrone says he doesn't want anyone to say he's not commenting, but he doesn't want his players distracted and has instructed everyone in the program to defer if asked about the conference switch.

"We're excited about the future," Marrone said. "We're excited about the stability that brings to our university. We're excited to be within a conference that academically, athletically, competes to be the best. That's it."
