The NBA roundup ...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh will join the ACC's Coastal Division in football, the league announced Friday.

When the Panthers actually begin playing in the ACC remains unknown, but athletic director Steve Pederson isn't ready to shut the door on 2012.

The ACC announced Friday that Pitt will join the Coastal with Virginia Tech, Virginia, Georgia Tech, Miami, Duke and North Carolina. Pitt also will play Syracuse, another Big East program leaving for the ACC, every year, even though the Orange will join the Atlantic Division.

The league will play a nine-game schedule in football and every team will compete in the ACC basketball tournaments once Syracuse and Pittsburgh join the league.
