A Letter to All Hurricane Club Members from Paul Dee
On June 30th, University of Miami President Donna Shalala, along with Hurricane Athletic Director Paul Dee, announced that Miami would join the Atlantic Coast Conference effective as of 2004. The move brings countless new benefits including a conference for our championship baseball program that had previously played as an independent and the opportunity for joint academic ventures with prestigious ACC institutions such as Duke and Wake Forest.
