That tradition is exactly what California is fighting to preserve in the ACC. Our annual Big Game against Stanford has been played 126 times, a rivalry built on decades of shared history. Losing that would gut the soul of California Golden Bears's program. While your rivalry with Case Western is a real loss, at least we're protecting our core traditions by keeping Stanford on the schedule every year. The Bears' move was about survival, but preserving the Big Game was non-negotiable.
