Clemson and FSU ?Still need 2 more schools
Sources: Boise State among 4 set to join Pac-12
Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State have applied for Pac-12 membership to begin in the 2026-27 academic year, sources confirmed to ESPN.www.espn.com
I would make a hard pass at Cal & Stanford. they get full media payouts, reduce travel expenses, and have a nice new vs old set up. granted I am not sure how iron tight the ACC deal is with them as new and partial participants.Still need 2 more schools

maybe SMU under the same thought as above, and maybe like Rice to have two in Texas.
That elitism alone is why they won't rejoin.Cal and Stanford taking a look at the academics of the new 6 PAC

Did Cal and Stanford and SMU sign in on the Grant of Rights the ACC has?I'm definitely wondering if somehow Cal and Stanford come back into the fold and I'm not sure the ACC would be too heartbroken about it either. Remember it barely passed to allow them in. I could see some buyer's remorse. The key is going to be the TV deal however.
True, but don’t you think the administrations at these prestigious institutions, who put such an emphasis on taking care of the planet , maybe should consider reducing their athletic carbon footprint instead of taking the bigger $ from a conference across the country? Yeah I don’t see it happening either .That elitism alone is why they won't rejoin.
The Mountain West will have to consider making a run at North Dakota State. Maybe Idaho or Montana.
Is that process complicated any more by the fact they'd be moving from FCS to FBS? It seems like there's usually some kind of transition period where they compete as an independent for a year or two then join a conference.The Mountain West will have to consider making a run at North Dakota State.
