The Atlantic Coast Conference is going Pacific.
ACC presidents approved an expansion measure to add Stanford, Cal and SMU, sources tell Yahoo Sports, ending a month-long saga into an issue that divided the league. It was not a unanimous decision.
Conference administrators, led by commissioner Jim Phillips, spent the last three weeks exploring new expansion models in an attempt to convince membership to support the idea after a presidential straw poll on Aug. 9 fell one vote short of approval. During that meeting, Clemson, FSU, North Carolina and NC State were against expansion.
