[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford and Cal are pretty much better versions of Duke and UVA. It is no wonder the UNC soccer coach said it would be bad travel and recruiting wise:

Duke's basketball place isn't going anywhere. Having Stanford and Cal might also help rise the overall tide in the ACC in the Olympic sports too. [/quote]

It’s sports specific. That UNC coach has a very particular viewpoint because Stanford women’s soccer is a top program that will absolutely dilute his recruiting class. Not so much men’s fb and bball. [/quote]

I wouldn't discount Stanford there. In football, Stanford was probably better overall than anyone in the ACC outside of Clemson since 2010. Yes, they've been bad two years in a row and have a new coach but they had 5 BCS bowl appearances (3 Rose Bowls). They have had modern football success and are finally allowing transfers and grad transfers. Their basketball team hasn't been good since the mid 2000s outside of one Sweet 16 in 2014 but they went to 11 NCAA tournaments in a row in the 90s and 2000s, including a Final Four and an Elite Eight. The ACC could help their recruiting there too. Obviously, they have the best Olympic sports program by quite a bit. On the fields and court, the ACC got better for sure adding Stanford.
I would have loved the B!G to offer Stanford and Cal 10-15% to join.[/quote]
