Syracuse Orange: Analyst rips ACC as Cal, Stanford, SMU being explored

Leaders of the Atlantic Coast Conference, of which the Syracuse Orange is a member, are exploring the potential of adding several schools, according to a report.

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported on Tuesday that ACC league presidents are looking at the possibility of adding Pac-12 Conference members Stanford and California, as well as SMU out of the American Athletic Conference.

Per Dellenger, during a meeting on Tuesday, ACC administrators discussed potentially adding all three schools or just the two Pac-12 members. Pete Thamel of ESPN reported on Monday regarding the ACC’s exploratory discussions on Cal and Stanford, as the Pac-12 has seen its membership dwindle to four.
