about exactly what any ACC fan would do if situation was reversed and all

our opponents were suddenly in the Pac-# on the west coast. Bringing Cal, SMU, & the tree into the ACC is the absolute stupidest thing in college sports ever, and the perfect example of why they just need to hurry up and have two conferences for minor league football and minor league b-ball (M&W) with regional divisions, and then all other sports go back to some normal regional conferences. Can you imagine being a wrestler, tennis player, soccer, softball, or baseball player at Stanford or Cal having to travel to the east coast for every away conference game...ditto for football & basketball, just stupid. The closest ACC school to Stanford is actually farther away than what their teams had to travel for any Pac-12 conference game. Just stupid! Stanford also has a bunch of non-ACC sports like beach volleyball, gymnastics, rugby, and M&W water polo that won't be in the ACC. I imagine all the insane travel will negatively impact their player's studies and possibly their performances too. How can it not; ditto for ACC teams traveling out west. ** Edited by Scream_On_D at 7/2/2024, 1:23:11 PM

You should have pretended that you think Cal is located in Bakersfield.
Truthahn • 07/02/24 04:07 PM ET

It's a move up for SMU and they get out of the Longhorn/Aggie shadow at
Tuckahokie • 07/02/24 05:54 AM ET
Stanford and Cal will not be in ACC for the long term. Makes no sense**

Scream_On_D • 07/03/24 12:23 AM ET
I really wish there was some kind of position that had responsibility
IV_Hokie12 • 07/02/24 09:27 AM ET
Pretty sure Louisville is closer to Stanford than BC
hokiepro • 07/01/24 11:23 PM ET
Pretty sure you're 100% wrong...by a factor of 2x+
marcbvtgm • 07/02/24 09:41 AM ET
Point is that any ACC school is way to far for Cal and the Tree**
949hokie • 07/02/24 12:27 AM ET
huh? You're saying Kentucky is closer to California than Massachusetts?**
jesuisvtguy • 07/01/24 11:35 PM ET

hokiepro • 07/01/24 11:39 PM ET
Actually BC is the FARTHEST
techer1983 • 07/02/24 10:56 AM ET
There seems to be a problem with either the Miami or FSU
VPI63 • 07/04/24 05:10 PM ET
Well, there ya go.
RJHokie • 07/01/24 10:25 PM ET
To be fair..........
2hhoop3 • 07/01/24 10:34 PM ET
Perhaps, but UCLA, per state directive, is transferring at least
RJHokie • 07/01/24 10:43 PM ET
That $10MM.......
2hhoop3 • 07/01/24 10:49 PM ET
Hope Lex Luthor doesn't find out about that fault line.
KCHokie2 • 07/01/24 11:19 PM ET
Good take!
RJHokie • 07/01/24 10:51 PM ET
"the whole state"...seriously...it's more dangerous driving on 81**
Scream_On_D • 07/01/24 11:08 PM ET
I can handle 81 without too much trouble. I just slow down when it gets
RJHokie • 07/01/24 11:46 PM ET
Don't blame you, I feel the same way about the Miami area also !**

As a fellow ex-PAC, expect to be underwhelmed by Cal’s sports efforts
SunDevilHokie • 07/01/24 07:29 PM ET
SMU is not short of money as we experienced in swimming
Happy Dog • 07/02/24 06:53 AM ET
I hope SMU is very successful in the ACC. It is nice that they are excited
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/01/24 10:44 PM ET
SMU having success.........
2hhoop3 • 07/01/24 11:01 PM ET
Same things but to a different degree
Happy Dog • 07/02/24 12:32 PM ET
Agree, your statements are on target !**
