College football shocked the country again with the news that three more schools, two located on the Pacific Coast and one in Texas, would be joining the Atlantic Coast Conference. Yes, you read that correctly. Pacific Coast teams are joining a football conference with the words “Atlantic Coast” in its name. It’s the latest creation of a new ACC and a so-called super conference.
“This is a significant day for the ACC as we welcome Cal, SMU, and Stanford to this incredible conference,” said University of Virginia President James E. Ryan, chairman of the ACC board of directors. “This expansion will enhance and strengthen the league now and in the future.
Consider the developments in recent years that changed the landscape of college athletics. As mentioned above, Stanford, Cal, and SMU will be in the ACC. They might as well change the name to the “Any Coast Conference." Then, there was the Big Ten, the oldest athletic conference in the country. After their latest additions, they will have 18 teams starting in 2024. The Big 12 will have 16 teams beginning next year.
In what seems like forever ago, athletic conferences used to have a geographical relevance. Now, they are meaningless and nothing but a money-making scheme so universities can make even more than they already are. The NCAA should abandon all geographically-inspired names for their conferences since they’re no longer applicable, sell each conference’s naming rights, and change the name to the corporation that bids the highest. Keeping the current names for each conference is pretty pointless.
