Someone on Twitter brought up a fascinating point about the ACC’s recently announced plan to accept SMU, Stanford and Cal as expansion schools. As you will see, this does not apply to Stanford or SMU, but as a state university, it certainly would to Cal.
As you may remember, after the “Bathroom bill” became law in North Carolina in 2017, the state of California decided it will not allow state funds to be used to travel to certain states with anti-LGBTQ+ laws.
Among the states that California objects to are Indiana (Notre Dame), Kentucky (Louisville), Georgia (Georgia Tech), Florida (Miami & Florida State), Texas (SMU) and North Carolina (UNC, Duke, NC State and Wake Forest), which would greatly complicate Cal’s travel as an ACC member.
