Stanford, Cal join SMU in ACC expansion. Here’s how the Pac-12 kept crumbling

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 09:00:32 GMT

Half of the Pac-12’s four remaining teams defected Friday as Stanford and Cal, along with Southern Methodist, accepted invitations to the Atlantic Coast Conference.There will be plenty of challenges ahead for the Bay Area schools, which will join the Charlotte-based league beginning in the 2024-25 school year. The biggest issue on the table is travel back and forth to a conference where the nearest school prior to Friday was Louisville. (Now, that title will belong to SMU, which is based in Dallas.)The ACC on Friday outlined some plans to mitigate that issue, including the possibility of hosting a number of neutral-site events at the Texas school.Another significant hurdle facing Cal in particular is the financial component of all this travel, especially considering that the Bears and Cardinal will be giving back some media revenue (the amount will diminish over the years) to the ACC as part of their agreement. The so-called Berkeley tax that would force UCLA to subsidize Cal ...
