The ACC expansion saga is finally coming to an end as the conference is adding the University of California, Stanford, and Southern Methodist University, according to multiple reports. 

On Friday morning, ACC presidents and chancellors voted to extend invitations to the three schools to join the conference in 2024. Stanford and Cal will receive reduced media rights revenue shares and SMU will not receive any.

NC State was apparently the deciding factor is voting to approve expansion — while Clemson, Florida State, and North Carolina remained firm in their opposition to the move.
