Sounds like FSU and Clemson weren't on board with adding the two west coast teams.

Cal maybe, but Stanford has proven they are capable of being good in all major sports. I think Stanford being left out is crazy

I wish I could agree but their absolute refusal to get into NIL and more importantly ( because the Stanford education is valuable) their horrible transfer policies are symptom of a university that does not care about football. In an area that didn't care about college football either.

Your best players, who have spent years in your system being molded are required to leave because they cannot get into graduate programs. These are Stanford grads. But Stanford doesn't do that?!

Also the awful credit transfers ensure only freshman can transfer it, if their have the grades.

Again, this is a university that doesn't give a damn about football, likely didn't during the heydays either. Why would Fox, NBC or CBS want to pay for that? They wouldn't.

As Duck fan I really loved when these two teams should it out for the North. I am saddened that the university decided it wasn't really worth their time but an not sad that they now reap what they have sown.
