For Cal and Stanford it is all about ego - but could things change after they have spent a year in the ACC and its travel for all sports

How much do things change when ESPN decides if it wants to continue its TV deal with the ACC

As for R1, that designation has only been around since 2018. The pac-10 (from the pac-8) was created in 1978.
