On Friday morning, it was reported that Stanford, Cal, and SMU have gained enough support from ACC members to be admitted into the conference in all sports. SMU plans to enter the league without receiving any media rights revenue for seven years, while Stanford and Cal will initially receive media rights revenue at a reduced amount.
This news comes after weeks of deliberation following the implosion of the PAC-12. Oregon and Washington went to the Big 10, while Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah left for the Big 12, leaving just Stanford, Cal, Oregon State, and Washington State remaining in the historic conference.
