ACC Approves Expansion, Adds Stanford, Cal, and SMU to Conference

The ACC has voted to extend conference invitations to Stanford, California, and SMU, with the three schools expected to join the league for the 2024 college football season. Stanford and Cal will enter from the Pac-12, while SMU will move from the American. The ACC is set to receive additional media rights revenue of around $72 million as a result of expansion, with a portion of that revenue potentially being distributed through a revised financial model or incentive program. The addition of these schools allows the ACC to remain above the 15-member threshold and expands the conference into significant markets.
