It finally happened... After weeks of palace intrigue in the halls of Tallahassee, Clemson, and Raleighl, Stanford, Cal, and SMU are headed to the now absurdly named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). All three schools took cuts on media income to join the club, and it still seems like Florida State and Clemson will be looking for the exits in the near future, but in a world of Power 5 or bust, you do what you have to do.
The bust part of that last statement now squarely applies to Oregon State and Washington State. With the American Athletic Conference (AAC) releasing a statement earlier today disavowing any westward expansion, the options are dwindling.
