Sources; ACC begin discussing Cal, Stanford as additions
With the Pac-12 down to just four schools after the defection of five universities on Friday, the four remaining schools -- including Cal and Stanford -- are scrambling to find places to land. Both have elite academic reputations and Stanford consistently has the country's best top-to-bottom athletic department, but the reverberations of realignment have left them at a crossroads.
 
UConn-North Carolina, FAU-Illinois to meet in Jimmy V Classic
The two matchups for the 29th annual doubleheader were announced Monday and will take place on Dec. 5 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Both games will air on ESPN.

Named for legendary coach Jim Valvano, the Jimmy V Classic annually raises money and awareness for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. To date, ESPN has helped raise more than $200 million for the V Foundation. Last year set a record, with 2022's V Week raising $14.4 million.

Mountain West mulls nest move as ACC decides on Cal, Stanford
If the ACC does not add Cal and Stanford, however, it's less clear how things will play out. Since Friday, when five of the remaining nine Pac-12 schools announced they were leaving, the MWC has been gaming out various scenarios.
 
Sources: Cal, Stanford to ACC hits 'significant roadblocks'
Talks about Cal and Stanford picked up after the Pac-12 broke apart last week, but there had always been long odds the schools would join the conference because there is not a significant financial value add. For a league that is staring at a looming revenue gap with the SEC and Big Ten that could reach $30 million annually, adding revenue must be a major factor for consideration.
 
Sources: 'Continued momentum' for ACC to add schools
The ACC will not take an official vote until Commissioner Jim Phillips knows they have the 12 yeses needed to approve expansion, sources said. Phillips is pushing hard on the two North Carolina schools to flip their votes because the state just invested millions of dollars to move ACC HQ to Charlotte, sources told ESPN's Andrea Adelson.
 

Sources: ACC ramps up talks for adding Cal, Stanford, SMU​


The ACC is again seriously considering the potential additions of Stanford, California and SMU, multiple sources told ESPN on Wednesday. A series of meetings will be held this week to further vet and discuss different financial models that would come with the additions, sources said. A vote of 12 of the 15 ACC schools is required to approve the additions, and just one new positive vote is needed among the block of four -- North Carolina, NC State, Clemson and Florida State -- that has indicated dissent against the move in prior meetings. (No formal vote has been taken.) One vote of those four is needed, assuming all of the "yes" votes are aligned with the financial model. The financial concessions from the three schools will create a pool of money, and the ACC presidents are having discussions on how it would be split. The mechanics of that are still to be worked out, sources said, including a performance pool for success initiatives.

Sources: 'Continued momentum' for ACC to add schools​


A decision on ACC expansion is expected this week, and sources told ESPN that there's "continued momentum" toward the league adding Stanford, Cal and SMU to the league. After a weekend of conversations, a source told ESPN that the details of the potential additions are "only in pencil," but it's trending in the direction of happening. One of four ACC schools that had previously objected to the additions -- Clemson, Florida State, NC State and North Carolina -- needed to change its vote, and that is expected to happen this week. While there's momentum toward additions, a decision either way is coming in the early part of this week. This is the fourth week that ACC officials have discussed the potential additions, and there's a now-or-never tone hanging over the next few days.

ACC adds Stanford, Cal, SMU as new members beginning 2024-25​


The Atlantic Coast Conference is expanding from its Eastern roots. The ACC presidents and chancellors met Friday morning and voted to add three schools -- Stanford, Cal and SMU, the conference announced. It will bring the league to 18 members -- 17 will play football full time in the league. The additions are in all sports and will begin in the 2024-25 school year. The move unfolded in an atypical process, as votes in league matters usually are cast as unanimous and are simply a formality when the presidents meet to decide. The ACC needed 12 of 15 votes. Heading into the meeting Friday morning, it was uncertain whether the league had votes, a significant variance from how conference expansion typically works. In a straw poll more than three weeks ago, four ACC schools dissented -- Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina and NC State. One of them needed to flip for the vote to pass, and all eyes were on NC State chancellor Randy Woodson going into the meeting. It was a 12-3 vote Friday with NC State flipping, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN's Andrea Adelson. The ACC joins the ranks of a rapidly changing collegiate landscape. Starting next year, the Big Ten will have 18 teams and the Big 12 and SEC will have 16. The move leaves the Pac-12 with just two remaining programs, Washington State and Oregon State, a continued spiral that has included the league losing eight teams since late July.

This years Maui Invarational moving to Honolulu due to fires
This year's tournament will be held at the Stan Sheriff Center on the campus of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Honolulu was the site of the game that sparked the creation of the Maui Invitational -- Chaminade's historic upset of No. 1 Virginia and Ralph Sampson in 1982.


******
The Maui Invitational should be this season's premier nonconference tournament, with a field headlined by Kansas, ranked No. 1 in ESPN's latest Way-Too-Early Top 25, No. 3 Purdue, No. 7 Gonzaga, No. 8 Tennessee and No. 10 Marquette. UCLA, Syracuse and Chaminade round out this year's eight-team field.
