STANFORD, Calif. -- As Stanford grapples with the crumbling Pac-12 Conference, first-year football coach Troy Taylor said the school intends to remain at the Power 5 level.
"I think the players that committed to us and came here, they want to play Power 5 football, and that is what our intention is with this university," Taylor said Tuesday evening. "I can't imagine anything else."
ACC presidents met Tuesday morning to discuss the possibility of adding Stanford and Cal, but the matter was not voted on, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. With eight schools set to depart the Pac-12 after this season, Stanford's future is in limbo and it's unclear where the Cardinal would turn if an offer were not extended from the ACC.
