Stanford is going to join the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in August 2024. The ACC is expanding by adding Stanford, Cal, and SMU. Stanford will join the ACC as a full member, both in terms of governance and share of media distributions. However, they will be contributing a portion of their media distributions back to the conference for several years, and the level of these contributions will decrease over time. Stanford will continue to be a member of the Pac-12 Conference through the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.
