What was supposed to be a meeting to determine the future of the ACC’s membership had to be postponed for a much more important reason.
According to Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic, the ACC meeting to determine whether to admit Cal, SMU and Stanford is being postponed. The postponement comes amid a shooting that took place on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus earlier today.
“Tonight’s ACC meeting has been postponed following the on-campus shooting at UNC today, per source,” Auerbach wrote on X.
Thankfully, there are no reports on any shooting victims or fatalities as of writing. We all hope and pray that it stays that way.

The ACC is reportedly mulling whether to add Pac-12 holdouts Cal and Stanford along with SMU due in no small part to a lucrative TV deal bonus they would gain if they added exactly three more schools.
The Pac-12 currently has only four teams on board for the 2024 season with only Cal, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State still at the school.
Now we may have to wait a long while before the fate of the three schools is decided.
