College football’s conference expansion and realignment has continued with the ACC Presidents meeting Wednesday to discuss the possible additions of Stanford, Cal, and SMU.
According to reports from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, there is still disagreement among the conference, with at least four schools pushing back on these additions. For a vote to pass, the conference would need at least 12 of 15 schools to agree.
There is still hope for expansion with expiations that they will meet again soon to further discuss the situation. However, there are also reports that this is a done deal, and the conference will not add any other schools.
According to reports from Larry Williams of Tiger Illustrated, he has been told that ACC expansion will not be moving forward, noting that “this sounds done.”
It is difficult to say what direction the ACC is going. Brandon Marcello of 247Sports reported the same as Dellenger but noted the conference presidents will meet Thursday or Friday to further discuss the situation.
For now, we will have to wait and see, as the next few days should clear up a lot of uncertainty.
At a meeting Wednesday, ACC presidents further explored expansion & again put off a vote, sources tell @YahooSports.
This signals that disagreement exists among the group. At least four schools are pushing back. League needs 12 votes of 15 members.
