The NCAA re-alignment situation continues to unfold.

The obvious prediction is that Stanford will join the ACC.

\n

\n \ud83d\udcac\n San Francisco has always been an ACC town.\n

\n \ud83d\udca1\n one wonders: would they rather put on a traveling show for one night or two? and if it is a traveling show, would they invite UNLV instead of Cal?\n

The Big Ten is in Red, the SEC is in green, the ACC is in yellow, and the Big 12 is \"unorganized territory\".
