Things Change - Part 8 (One source of ACC opposition)

Reports indicate that with the collapse of the Pac-12, UC-Berkeley and Stanford are looking to join the Atlantic Coast Conference. But what might work for money-making football looks very different from the perspective of other sports that will be dragged along. 

And its not just the perspective of the non-football sports at UC-Berkeley and Stanford that have a problem with the proposal. There is opposition from those sports within the ACC as the video below indicates. From TV station WRAL (Raleigh, NC), 8-21-2023:

"UNC women's head coach Anson Dorrance didn't hold back when it came to talking about the ACC exploring expansion with Stanford and Cal. Dorrance acknowledged that the two programs are elite, but for the boots on the ground the move would not be good. The concern is not only from a budget and travel standpoint, but from a recruiting aspect as well."
