per San Francisco Chronicle. Report says its only for football and men/women's basketball. What if FSU/Clemson still bolt for greener pastures? Lordy, who knows.

Other schools in the ACC aren't too keen on having Cal/Stanford join in the other sports because they would dominate them in recruiting and on the field. One coach said he wished Cal and Stanford would "die on the vine".

If Notre Dame ends up joining the Big 10 (they probably will), that will be absolutely monumental.

Just sayin'.

I hate this move.

I don't know if y'all know this, but Berkeley and Palo Alto are nowhere near the Atlantic coast.

Weird. I know.

This did not go how I thought it would.

This will not go well for the big12 or ACC.

You know Cal is just thankful they’ve found a new sugar daddy to help out with all their athletic department debt they have

These kids are going to lose basically a day to travel and jet lag every cross-country trip.

Absolutely moronic.

The only winning move is not to play

Nothing says, "Atlantic Coast Conference" better than Northern California and Texas!! As a USC alum (alum of UGA, too), I still can't fathom the Trojans and UCLA leaving the conference (neither can the fans here in Los Angeles).

This whole realignment is one big mess and it's ruining the sport which has been on a downward spiral for quite some time now. Money has destroyed it.

The dissolvement of the 108-year-old Pacific Conference and what it had become is now complete. It's over.

Although to be honest Louisville is already like 180 miles from the coast the name was already dumb.

SMU ending up in a better conference than TCU is not something I would've predicted a year ago.

I get football and maybe basketball. How does this make any sense for sports like swimming, tennis, soccer etc. ?
