ACC expands west by adding Stanford, Cal, SMU as Pac-12 collapses

  • ACC voted to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU to join the conference in 2024.
  • The additions leave the Pac-12 with just two remaining members, Oregon State and Washington State.
  • The move was driven by financial considerations and a need to stay competitive with other major conferences.
  • Stanford and Cal accepted reduced revenue shares to join the ACC and escape the dissolving Pac-12.
  • The expansion cements the ACC's status but raises concerns about increased travel burdens.
