ACC is exploring the potential addition of Stanford and Cal, per report

According to reports from Pete Thamel, the ACC is exploring the addition of Stanford and Cal.

College football realignment continues to reshape the game’s landscape, and with the SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12 already adding teams from the Pac-12, the ACC is doing the same. 

According to reports from Pete Thamel, in the next 24 hours there are two calls for the ACC to vet and have early exploratory discussions on the potential addition of Cal and Stanford. Thamel stated that One is for ACC athletic directors and the other for the league’s presidents and chancellors. 

Big news in the conference, the ACC presidents met last Friday and “seriously explored” adding 5-7 Pac-12 schools as the Pac-12’s future is in question. While it was assumed these conversations were over with the Big 12 adding Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah but that is not the case with this latest news.

We now wait for the next report on the ACC’s next steps.
