The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded in 1953 by seven universities who formerly belonged to the Southern Conference. The charter members; Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, and Wake Forest participated as a seven team league until 1971 when South Carolina left to become an Independent. The ACC would operate as a six team league until former Metro Conference member Georgia Tech joined in 1978. In 1991 Florida State left the Metro Conference to join the ACC and former Big East members Miami and Virginia Tech joined in 2004 while Boston College joined in 2005.
