More likely they would be happy with an ACC that looks somewhat like this.

Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, Wake Forest,Duke, Georgia Tech, SMU, Cal, Stanford with additions of USF, Tulane, Oregon St,Washington St maybe UConn and ND for non football.

Miami, VT, UL and NCST arent going anywhere

Stanfords acadmics rival the ivy's and they arguably have the best athletic program in the country:

"Stanford has won 134 NCAA team national championships, the most of any Division 1 school in the NCAA. Stanford has won these NCAA team championships in 20 different sports."

They really deserve better.  I am suprised the B10 did not scoop them up along with Cal.  

 

You are absolutely right, BUT, Stanford, California does not offer the market/money that L.A. or Seattle does. The fan base in Oregon is exponentially larger than Stanfords, they just didn’t make business sense for the B10.

They also haven't been relevant in football since Cmc (Stanford) and Aaron Rodgers(Cal) played.

True but football relevance is not what matters.  With all their success nobody really cares all that much about Stanford.

Michigan Bull is right

It is all about viewership.

I don't know how you can make the case any clearer.  Stanford is the top of the foodchain in academics, decent in football and dominant in other sports but the B10 didn't want them.

Any smart schools from MWC that can be pulled in?
