There are multiple reputable web sites confirming a meeting will be held of the ACC presidents today.  It reportedly started at 8 AM.

The fact it is the ACC presidents and the fact it was announced publicly implies to me that there was a change in the voting and there is a reason to meet again.

Like Jake, I expect an announcement today that the ACC is expanding.  No mention of SMU in any of the chatter.  It appears to just be Cal and Stanford.

I think the ACC saw many of the logical candidates it was banking on taking if it was to lose a school or two disappearing and finally decided to be proactive.

I bet the ACC ADs would not vote in favor of this move.  This was driven by the ACC presidents.  I think they felt if they must expand, they want to take peer institutions that position the ACC more to the long term vision they have.

This is a rare time the presidents of a conference have stood up and voted for what they believe (and the hell with the ADs).

There are some rumors this is for football and basketball only.  It will be interesting to see if this extends to all Olympic sports.
