CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT STRIKES AGAIN - sort of

-ACC looking to add Stanford and Cal … meetings taking place this morning/today - Cal’s Board of Regents met this morning, ironically around roughly the same time 

-Stanford and Cal on a national scale when it comes to football - they don’t move the needle - Cal hasn’t really had anyone much of relevance since Aaron Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch

-What does it add for the ACC, other than long travel for some schools that already travel far?  

-There have been reports that the American would also be in play, which if you’re the AAC, you ABSOLUTELY make the push for it … ECU vs Stanford at Dowdy-Ficklen, anybody? 

-Why it would be hard for the Pac-12 to add Mountain West schools 

-Why I hate it …
