The Atlantic Coast Conference is expanding from its Eastern roots.
The ACC presidents and chancellors met on Friday morning and voted to add three new schools -- Stanford, Cal and SMU, sources told ESPN. It will bring the league to 18 members, 17 of which will play football full time in the league. The additions will be in all sports and will begin in the 2024-25 school year.
The moves have been the subject of much drama the last month, as Commissioner Jim Phillips worked diligently to appease a group of schools eager to add the schools and others seeking more revenue.
