I don’t think Stanford and Cal look at it from a travel perspective. They want to be associated with like-minded institutions. They pushed hard to get into the B1G. When that didn’t work out, the ACC was the next best option. I don’t think either school realistically considered the Big 12 and I don’t think either school ever will.

I suspect that if there wasn't an opportunity at the ACC they would have excepted a big 12 invite. They were scrambling because the PAC got relegated.

Q: In hindsight, would Stanford and Cal choose the ACC over the Big 12 given their reduced payout and travel?
That's just it Stanford & Cal were left behind by the Big XII. There wasn't an invite forthcoming at that point... they either could've stayed with Washington St. & Oregon St. and tried to rebuild the Pac or taken the reduced payout offer they took from the ACC... those were their options.

When you realize that SMU was in the American until 2024 and that's at a significant competitive disadvantage, it gives you a sense of the suck that is Boston College and Wake Forest. Hard to believe that they get to walk out with a golden ticket.

And people think FSU doesn't have a landing spot. I was sure FSU would have been like, "Thanks for the unequal revenue distribution and the bargain basement exit fee, See Ya!!!!"

It's worse than that.

When you consider that BC is smack dab in the middle of an almost 5 million population metro area, you realize that their level of suck out-sucks all other sucks that are out there...
