Not sure what's real or trolling here anymore, the California schools are horrible in the two sports that matter.Why would they invite Stanford. They’ll be conference champs in every sport. Two more losses for BC and Syracuse

Half the ACC teams will never win a football or basketball ACC conference championship. Now you add Stanford those ACC schools won’t win an ACC championship in any sport. Stanford wins the Directors’ cup every year. They have 132 national championships.Not sure what's real or trolling here anymore, the California schools are horrible in the two sports that matter.
It is not exactly a tough sell to recruit Olympic athletes to Stanford.Half the ACC teams will never win a football or basketball ACC conference championship.

- You are going to Palo Alto, one of the morr expensive neighbourhoods with average home price of $3.3M, for 4 years.
- beautiful CA weather for 4 years.
- You are getting a scholarship from one of the top 3 universities in the USA.
it's not exactly that hard to recruit top athletes here, which is why Stanford wins the Director cup every year. Over 20% of Olympic athletes came from CA for the USA. Stanford, and in some ways Cal as well, have these built-in advantages few schools have.
Way too many pro sports options in the Bay Area. In addition, most people go out and do stuff on weekends due to gorgeous weather vs. sitting at a football game. I am literally out every weekend playing tennis or Pickleball for example.Yet what they cannot deliver is eyeballs for viewing. Apparently, with the exception of 2 schools in SoCal, no school can.
Agreed. It was like that even when I lived there in the late 90s. Stanford and Cal care about one game a year, when they play each other. They skew heavily international too 23% and 17%. At least they will always have the lateral game.Way too many pro sports options in the Bay Area.

Most Stanford and Cal graduates are casual fans at best. Most have no idea PAC-12 blew up.

Yes, they're great in water polo. They suck in football and basketball, Cal sucks harder.Half the ACC teams will never win a football or basketball ACC conference championship.

Unless there are more $$ on the table then UNC won't change it's no vote. So either ESPN/the ACC/ND come up with $$$, doesn't matter whichIt would be hilarious if Notre Dame strong arms the ACC into adding Stanford and Cal. The ACC is Notre Dame's b*tch.

You forgot NC's in Field Hockey, W Tennis 21-22ACC in small sports is fine...

If those schools aren't taking payment, whose getting the money?Unless there are more $$ on the table then UNC won't change it's no vote. So either ESPN/the ACC/ND come up with $$$, doesn't matter which
They may be going through a rough patch but look up their win totals for the last 20 years.Yes, they're great in water polo. They suck in football and basketball, Cal sucks harder.
If the money is evenly distributed then that is a no go. 3-5 million net revenue helps but is negated by more travel expenses.If those schools aren't taking payment, whose getting the money?
Why isn’t Pepperdine P5?It is not exactly a tough sell to recruit Olympic athletes to Stanford.
