The ACC has voted to add California, Stanford and SMU in all sports for the 2024-25 athletic year, according to multiple reports.

In a 12-3 vote, league presidents opted to expand the league to 17 members in football. Notre Dame plays everything but football in the ACC.

It had been widely reported that Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina and North Carolina State opposed ACC expansion, but NC State has reportedly flipped its vote. That gave the league the necessary 80% majority to invite new members.

Cal and Stanford become the latest schools to leave the crumbling Pac-12, which has seen eight members depart for other conferences in the last year. Oregon State and Washington State are now the only Pac-12 schools without homes beyond the current athletic year.

SMU will join from the American Athletic Conference, and give the ACC a foothold in Texas. Since the Southwest Conference dissolved in the mid-1990s, the Mustangs have played in the WAC, Conference USA and now the AAC.

Though the ACC’s broadcast rights deal with ESPN runs through 2026, it remains to be seen if any current members will seek to defect. Representatives of Florida State and Clemson had been the most vocal about possibly seeking to leave the ACC in the coming years.

With the ACC set to expand, all the Power 5 conferences outside of the Pac-12 have now taken on new members in the last two years. The SEC will add Oklahoma and Texas from the Big 12 in 2024, while the Big Ten is bringing in USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington from the Pac-12 next year.

The Big 12 added Houston, Cincinnati and Central Florida from the American and independent BYU this year, and will bring in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State from the Pac-12 next year.
