ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU
The league now has 18 members stretching from Boston and Miami to the Bay Area.
Good luck with that.

All I can say is Wow. Surely they will change the name of the conference, especially since tradition means so little anyway.
Can't scamper or slither...but I used to swim.

Re: ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU
Seriously, Cal v Syracuse, such a tradition. Or Stanford v Virginia Tech. Terrific. Now the teams and their fan bases get to travel 2,800 mile multi-stop flights to attend these 3-hour-long heartfelt rivalry games. Money, money, money, thanks again ESPN and Fox for the further ruination of college sports, and to the universities for taking the rat bait.
And then there's the NIL spoilage...

Re: ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU
I’m wondering if it’s only going to be football, baseball and basketball maybe softball. Stanford and I believe Cal fields a bunch of teams that the Both Coasts Conference doesn’t.

Re: ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU
Stanford did say that it expects 22 of its 36 sports to see no or only minimal changes in scheduling, mostly because they compete in sports not offered by the ACC.MikenNashville wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 3:34 pm I’m wondering if it’s only going to be football, baseball and basketball maybe softball.

Re: ACC votes to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU
And with this, I assume we have seen the final post suggesting that Vanderbilt should join the ACC.

The ACC is now the magnolia league that some will continue to push. Stanford upgrades the already strong academics, Cal too.
