Stanford and Cal fell one vote short of surpassing the 75% approval threshold needed to join the ACC, sources told Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde and Richard Johnson.The Cardinal and Golden Bears needed at least 12 of the 15 ACC schools to support the move to officially be offered membership.

Sounds like FSU and Clemson weren't on board with adding the two west coast teams.
This is really a bad idea. I have a hard time believing ESPN wants to pay any fraction of $35-ish million to these schools. No one watches them. No one cares. Costs increase for everyone. Lose, lose. Not happening.
The Pac4 should just get off their horse and realize the MWC is what they belong on right now. Work hard, get better, build the brave. Try to jump on the next realignment.
I wish I could agree but their absolute refusal to get into NIL and more importantly ( because the Stanford education is valuable) their horrible transfer policies are symptom of a university that does not care about football. In an area that didn't care about college football either.
Your best players, who have spent years in your system being molded are required to leave because they cannot get into graduate programs. These are Stanford grads. But Stanford doesn't do that?!
Also the awful credit transfers ensure only freshman can transfer it, if their have the grades.
Again, this is a university that doesn't give a damn about football, likely didn't during the heydays either. Why would Fox, NBC or CBS want to pay for that? They wouldn't.
As Duck fan I really loved when these two teams should it out for the North. I am saddened that the university decided it wasn't really worth their time but an not sad that they now reap what they have sown.
