The B1X has all they need from the west coast.

They drove a harpoon through the P12's heart by taking the LA schools, then came back and took the other two they wanted at a huge discount. The B12 grabbed the southern schools. The remaining four schools are the ones that no P4 conference wants. Geographically speaking, it's insane to even talk about adding those schools to the ACC. No P4 conference is really close to those schools, but we are the furthest away. It makes even less sense to add them to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Stanford to the ACC?
JMUdad • 08/18/23 06:09 AM ET
As long as the ND / Stan game doesn’t count against our allotment

I think Stanford recognizes the significance of this moment
HokieAl • 08/18/23 10:23 AM ET
they got screwed, i don't blame them**

Stanford and Cal were an albatross around the neck of the PAC-12
WBGV • 08/18/23 09:11 AM ET
Stanford and Cal are good programs
SpeakToDamien • 08/18/23 10:10 AM ET
No one in the Bay Area cares about Calford.
WBGV • 08/18/23 05:07 PM ET
They really aren’t good, football wise, Stanford was good with Harbaugh…
ombandit • 08/18/23 11:34 AM ET
Kinda like VT?**
VTNSC • 08/18/23 01:16 PM ET
Stanford finished 2011 ranked #7 with Andrew Luck
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/18/23 12:36 PM ET
Gosh - they finished top 5 just 8 years ago (2015) and were top 20 a couple
VPI_1998 • 08/18/23 12:51 PM ET
David Shaw, Jim Harbaugh, Dennis Allen, Pop Warner, Bill Walsh
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/18/23 01:15 PM ET
NoCal is not a good college market. It is like NYC
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/18/23 10:42 AM ET
Just wait till they get on the ACCN...nevermind.**
aint2Hokie4me • 08/19/23 12:09 AM ET
Def not Texas, Georgia or Penn State
SpeakToDamien • 08/18/23 12:00 PM ET
Think the real albatross was its time zone. But…please continue.**

iF the issue is ND playing the extra ACC game Stanford, acc should approve
Mercury • 08/18/23 09:09 AM ET
No problem. Stanford is not on future ND schedules, anyway**
TerryD • 08/18/23 09:22 AM ET
I get the feeling that the ACC will do what ESPN wants it to do. **
Big12 guy • 08/18/23 09:10 AM ET
“Willing” to join and actually joining are obviously two different things**
ombandit • 08/18/23 07:25 AM ET
Apparently Stanford is leaning on the large endowment
Hokie1992 • 08/18/23 06:29 AM ET
No thank you. This is between the ACC and those schools. B12 is set for now**
Big12 guy • 08/18/23 08:55 AM ET
Don’t see them getting a invite
JMUdad • 08/18/23 06:12 AM ET
I think they will. Stanford must be next in line on the B1G’s western push
hokieZ71 • 08/18/23 08:12 AM ET
The B1X has all they need from the west coast. ◄
