What will Stanford, Cal's farthest travel be for an ACC game?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:24:56 GMT

(KRON) -- The Bay Area's two Pac-12 schools, Cal and Stanford, both announced Friday that they are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) starting in the 2024-25 academic year. Berkeley and Stanford aren't exactly located on the "Atlantic Coast."Some in opposition to these California schools joining the ACC cite the long and grueling travel having to go coast to coast to compete in sporting events. Even the closest ACC school is farther than what Cal or Stanford had to travel for any Pac-12 conference game. How far is the farthest ACC school from Cal and Stanford? The answer is Boston College at over 3,000 miles away from both Bay Area schools. Berkeley to Boston College: 3,085 milesStanford to Boston College: 3,126 miles Beer battlegrounds: Should colleges sell alcohol at sports games?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:24:56 GMT

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina coach Mack Brown is calling out the NCAA for dragging its heels on the case of transfer wide receiver Devontez Walker, who has not yet been ruled eligible.Walker, the Tar Heels’ presumed No. 1 receiver, transferred from Kent State, where he played two seasons after a year at North Carolina Central when he did not play because the season was canceled. NCAA rules generally allow players to transfer freely once. Brown said Walker had enrolled at UNC in January, just days before the NCAA revised rules to limit waivers for two-time transfers for evaluation on a case-by-case basis.The NCAA denied the waiver for Walker to play immediately and UNC appealed. The Tar Heels open the season against South Carolina on Saturday night.“The NCAA’s unwillingness to provide clarification over the last few weeks has left us in this position,” Brown said in a statement released by the school. “At this point, everyone knows the details of Tez’s journey ...
