CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As Stanford enters the ACC, football coach Troy Taylor has taken a big-picture view to switching conferences and a shifting collegiate landscape.

"We'll adapt or you're not going to be relevant," Taylor said Tuesday, as Cal and Stanford made their first ACC media day appearances.

Both schools scrambled to find a new conference home after the Pac-12 broke up last summer. Indeed, Taylor recounted how shocking it was to see such a storied conference break apart and how nerve-wracking it was to consider life outside a power conference.
