"We as a league will continue to remember those who lost their lives and honor our friends, colleagues and fellow students at Virginia Tech," Commissioner John Swofford said in a written statement.
Virginia Tech left the Big East and joined the ACC for the 2004-2005 season.
Championships being held this weekend include men's golf, men and women's tennis, men and women's track and field, and women's rowing.
