Stanford, Cal, SMU join ACC: Conference membership growing to 18 schools as latest realignment domino falls
In related news, geography is no longer a requirement in ACC member schools' classes.
Research on transporters like in "Star Trek" will be accelerated in physics' labs.

Opinion: ACC Should Just Expand Already
Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde: Adding Stanford, Cal and SMU solves the ACC's current woes and safeguards against potential defections.

https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article278825809.html
- The additions make the ACC measurably worse in football, men’s basketball.
- This expansion isn’t action. It’s reaction.
- If Notre Dame favors expansion, caveat emptor.

85 followers · 644 posts · Server mas.toNo one asked me, but the current realignment in college athletics (motivated wholly and fully by football) leaves me in a state of college athletics hate.
I loved college sports, football and basketball particularly, growing up. It might as well vanish now, though. It’s a morass of unethical behavior on the shoulders of less well off employees of the university, most of whom are un/underpaid for the money they earn for the school.
It’s big business, and I hate it.

It’s not college sports anymore, folks. It’s high-profit ‘entertainment’ as college sports go the way of the NFL. It's not conference realignment. It's consolidation and no one is safe in the dash for cash - #CollegeFootball #CollegeSports #BigTen #sport https://apnews.com/article/big-ten-big12-realignment-pac12-2ab096bb273425903f3f0bf9a1b5a852

For a broader look at the impacts of college sports conferences' changes, I highly recommend reading Matt Brown's coverage: https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/didnt-way
Including the need to keep an eye out for Florida State possibly selling media rights to a private equity firm!
Sadly, none of the news is good for students.

I grew up watching the Pac-8, then Pac-10 and now because of greed and #NIL deals, and to a lesser degree #ESPN and #FoxSports, the conference that has more Collegiate National Championships than any other, is now essentially no longer.🏈🏀🥎⚾️⛳🤸♀️⚽️🏐
Over the last decade college sports have become just like every other sports entity in the #UnitedStates money first, money second and fund raising third!

“It doesn’t matter how proud your fan base is or how committed to sports you are. This is about geography and timing and a ruthless run at money.
“… The only thing staying in the Pac-12 has going for it is tradition and a clear path to the coming College Football Playoff via the league’s automatic bid.
“No one cares about tradition anymore, though.”
