The Boston Globe is reporting that Boston College will hire Cornell coach Steve Donahue as its new head coach.

Details of the contract have yet to be finalized, but Donohue made his second trip to the campus this week and met with school president William Leahy.

Donohue has spent 10 seasons as coach at Cornell, leading the Big Red to the NCAA tournament the last three seasons.

This year, his squad upset both No. 5 Temple and No. 4 Wisconsin on its way to the Sweet 16.

The Globe also reports that Donohue has already turned down an offer to become the coach at Hofstra.
