The Atlantic Coast Conference has had a busy week, though from most perspectives, maybe not a good week.
The last few days have been consumed with realignment drama as the ACC debated the additions of new teams. Stanford and California were considered, as well as SMU.
By the end of the week, there weren’t enough votes to make any additions. Twelve positive votes are required to admit new members, and only eleven of the fifteen member schools with a vote were in favor of admitting anyone.
It should be noted that there are certainly conversations still occurring, but for now, it appears the schools in favor of expansion have fallen one vote shy of success.
