ACC Adding Cal, Stanford, and SMU in 2024

The 2023 college football season may have officially begun but that hasn’t stopped the wheels of realignment from turning. After the the defections of two thirds of Pac-12 schools in late July and early August, it looks like the ACC is poised to grab half of the leftovers.

Cal, SMU and Stanford will join the ACC as full members with full voting participation effective July 1, 2024 (SMU) and August 2, 2024 (Stanford and Cal).

The additions did not come easily.
