www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/stanford-cal-smu-join-acc-conference-membership-growing-to-18-schools-as-latest-realignment-domino-falls/I have no idea how this is going to play out for us Stanford volleyball fans... and the traveling, traveling, traveling athletes. "The university will receive a full share of all revenues, including media revenue, while contributing back a portion of its media revenue to support and strengthen the conference and its current member institutions," Cal said in a statement. "UC Berkeley's membership contribution will taper off until the 10th year, at which point it will begin retaining 100% of its media revenue share. The fact that annual revenue will increase over time was an important factor in the agreement."

I wonder if maybe the Stanford athletes tell their administrators we are not doing this and have a student athlete revolt?

I wonder if the student athletes at Stanford band together and tell the administrators no we are not going to be subjected to a travel schedule made in hell that is so unfair to us?

I wonder if maybe the Stanford athletes tell their administrators we are not doing this and have a student athlete revolt? And play where? While flying cross-country on a regular basis isn't ideal, a future without football income would likely mean lots of long bus trips.

For Stanford fans - trying to quantify the travel issues for the Stanford players - and more specifically, would this materially impact recruiting.
This year - 14 week schedule and Stanford is traveling outside the Bay area 10 of those 14 weeks. Below is the weekly travel schedule for this year ranked roughly from longest to shortest - and what would likely be the worst case scenario for next season:
1. Florida (Florida) 2. Tennessee (Georgia/South Carolina) 3. Minnesota (North Carolina) 4. Nebraska (New York) 5. Arizona (Kentucky) 6. Colorado 7. Washington 8. Oregon 9. Los Angeles
This leaves open what they want to do in the non-conference - where they could certainly easily make it possible to have 2 full weeks of less travel than this year. And this is a worst-case scenario for conference travel - a more realistic scenario probably takes away one of those long load trips.
I am just not seeing some huge increase in travel for the players here - at least not what people seem to think is going to happen.

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation is their home conference for Men's VB, Men's and Women's Water Polo, M Gymnastics, Fencing and Artistic (formerly Synchronized) Swimming, plus a couple others: these teams all participate within the MPSF. Field Hockey is in the America East Conference...with MUCH travel to the Northeastern and Midwest U.S. Lightweight Rowing is within the IRA: a predominantly Eastern league. Squash is totally East Coast-oriented. My point in this is that Stanford already has numerous sports where major travel is involved. As to which sports will be most affected? I foresee baseball, plus M & W Basketball, being most impacted. This answer includes the entire gamut of the SU athletic programs that will be affected...not just WVB. As far as recruiting? I can see it actually enhancing Stanford's efforts; SU recruits nationwide anyway!

For women's soccer specifically, the move to the ACC might actually help Stanford in recruiting. Granted, they don't need much help, but still.
