šŸ“” Realignment News '23: After a weekend of conversations, there’s continued momentum toward the ACC adding Stanford, Cal and SMU

Shwew, that would be one heck of a travel schedule.
Speaking of travel...a few days ago the AD from AZ St. made the comment about traveling to Morgantown: "I'm not going to Morgantown."

1) Is he Xenophobic? He doesn't like people from West Virginia?
2) Or, is an intellectual blowhard talking out of his ass?

I'm guessing it won't be long before we only have two conference.

Yep. Might as well complete the professional makeover and have 12 minute halftimes, a two minute warning, training camps, preseason games (including one in Atlanta called the Hall of Fame Game), and closer hash marks and uprights on the field.
 
Knowing nothing else about it, I'm going to assume this is Cal and Stanford asking begging to be let in. ACC is on unsteady ground, but bringing in those 2 seems to, from my vantage point anyway, have the scales heavily tipped to the cons and away from the pros.
Nope, it's a Duke-UNC-UVa plot to transform the ACC into Mensa.
 


California and Stanford have shown interest in joining the ACC, industry sources tell CBS Sports. What's not known is whether the interest is being reciprocated by the conference.

ACC athletic directors were scheduled to meet to discuss the schools' viability on a Monday call. ACC presidents meet later this week on the subject. It's not clear whether either meeting includes exclusive discussion of expansion. The talks are considered preliminary at this time, but as we've seen over the last couple years, realignment can accelerate quickly.

Furthermore, the University of California Board of Regents has scheduled a meeting at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday to discuss its Pac-12 membership.

Cal and Stanford potentially moving across the nation to the easternmost power conference could be the first significant piece of fallout from last week's significant realignment moves. The Northern California programs have apparently been left out by the Big Ten in any potential plans for further expansion as the Bay Area is considered to be overrated as a television market, industry sources tell CBS Sports.
