Should ACC & B12 exchange Cal, Stanford, & SMU for WVA, UCF, Cincy? (link)**
Hokester • 07/04/25 08:03 PM ET
I’m guessing Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame and Duke are joined at the hip
hokieZ71 • 07/05/25 07:16 PM ET
Perhaps Stanford and Cal could have gone independent.
Maroon Baboon • 07/06/25 01:01 AM ET
They made their decision.
hokieZ71 • 07/07/25 08:40 PM ET
Mutual decision. Big 12 didn't want them.
HouClone • 07/05/25 11:03 AM ET
One sinking ship to another.
VPI 1924 • 07/05/25 09:41 AM ET
ACC had a chance to get WVU, Cincy and UCF, and didn’t go after them.
Stech • 07/05/25 09:04 AM ET
were they interested in playing for free?

I was thinking before the PAC meltdown, I think they would’ve have to pay
Stech • 07/08/25 03:33 PM ET
Cal, Stanford, and SMU bring new market
RandomAsianGuy • 07/05/25 07:20 PM ET
Bay Area is not a college sports market.
thebluelot • 07/07/25 02:15 PM ET
I think WVU numbers are on the decline
RandomAsianGuy • 07/07/25 02:40 PM ET
Some of your points are out of date
thebluelot • 07/07/25 03:22 PM ET
You are entitled to your opinion.
RandomAsianGuy • 07/07/25 06:47 PM ET
100%
thebluelot • 07/07/25 08:27 PM ET
Again you are entitled to your opinion.
RandomAsianGuy • 07/07/25 11:25 PM ET
Again. 100%
thebluelot • 07/11/25 11:17 PM ET
Oh sure sure. **
RandomAsianGuy • 07/12/25 12:01 AM ET
That statement is probably true, just not for the reasons you think. **
Big12 guy • 07/07/25 08:14 PM ET
As I said my opinion is clear.

Stech • 07/05/25 09:31 AM ET
Doubtful there will be a majority,.....
2hhoop3 • 07/05/25 10:59 AM ET
Cal and Stanford wouldn't do it **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/05/25 12:41 AM ET
Could’ve gotten them or @ least gone after them before CalFord & SMU joined
Stech • 07/05/25 09:07 AM ET
That's fine but you said exchange. Not happening. **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/07/25 12:45 AM ET
Agree exchange is not happening, ND drove the additions & that’s who they
Stech • 07/07/25 07:26 AM ET
Maybe a different perspective. Remember that FSU and then

Again, ND has a vested interest in the ACC staying together, with

I never said, “ND wanted to add those schools to the detriment of the conf“

Your stance on ND is just wrong. I

Don't want to argue. I just see ND as one of the best

There are obvious good things from having ND in the Conference, I am not a
Stech • 07/07/25 04:06 PM ET
ND supported them to keep the ACC together

"It’s all just a thought exercise." Here's what the article doesn't say.

I thought Cal & Stanford didn't want to associate...
Old Line Hokie • 07/04/25 09:34 PM ET
Yes sir, also why they want no part of the new Pac 12
HokiesACC2004 • 07/05/25 12:42 AM ET
True. And the ACC already has two Florida schools. We don’t need UCF now. **
