Welcome to the ACC, Stanford -- THURSDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Stanford University Cardinal

The final school joining the ACC for the upcoming school year is Stanford University. The Cardinal (singular, a tree, not a bird) sponsor 36 Division I sports- 16 men's teams and 20 women's teams. Between its old age from being founded in the late 1800s and carrying so many sports, Stanford has the most claimed national titles of any single school with 154 team titles.

Note: The total number of team titles for each school leaves room for debate due to many schools claiming championships before the NCAA was founded or before each respective sport was recognized by the NCAA.

  1. It's obvious that they do a lot of different sports than us, but in the ones the ACC does with them, Stanford looks like they could become the domnant force in thee league. Reading about this rivalrry between Cal and Stanford on Wikipedia, remind me of the antics and shenanigams UofL and UK have pulled in past years. I am glad they are still in the same conference and look forward to testing them and "choppng down" the tree in women's hoops again, volleyball, softball and field hockey. Go Cards.
