The Atlantic Coast Conference is throwing its hat in the ring as conference realignment takes over college athletics.

The ACC Board of Directors voted Friday to admit Stanford, Cal and SMU as full members starting in the 2024-25 school year, the conference announced.

The additions of Stanford and Cal to the ACC now means the Pac-12 conference has just two schools committed beyond the 2023-24 seasons – Washington State and Oregon State.

Why doesn’t anyone want those two schools? They seem like solid additions

We do have some good recruits visiting this weekend. Leo Deluca, Cooper "Hilton Magic" Hilton, Jacob Levy and Drew Gorman. Introduce yourself if you see them and talk Iowa State and Wrestling. We have a lot of interest in any top recruits and hope to get a bunch into visit. But it is going to take more than the scholarship funds that are available. We are going to need to be able to offer some NIL money, so stop by tailgate and see what you can do to help Iowa State wrestling.

There may be some Iowa kids visiting also, but I haven't heard those names.

Would love to land Deluca and Hilton. Have to feel good with Hilton since he and Chittum are close

What is our connection with Georgia right now? Typically those kids are going to UNI with the Roper connection.

Except for the last 20 seconds.

He absolutely controlled the match against a stud until the very end. Would be a great get, but it’s not going to be easy.

But what a difference at least being able to get guys like that to even visit as compared to a few short years ago
What big dogs are sniffing around for him
