The ACC Presidents voted this morning to add Cal, Stanford and SMU to the conference. The three schools will be added next year, for the 2024-25 season. That brings the total members of the ACC to 18 (including Notre Dame in every sport except football).
Welcome to the world where conference names no longer make sense. The Atlantic Coast Conference has teams on the Pacific Coast. The Big Ten has 18 schools. The Big 12 has 16.
Prior to this morning, Clemson, FSU, UNC and NC State were opposed to adding these three particular schools. One of them needed to flip their vote.
