I agree travel is a downside to joining the ACC. However; Stanford is on the quarter system. The conference season for most if not all sports is one quarter or a portion of a quarter. Athletes can take a light credit load that quarter and a heavier one the other two quarters. For that matter some athletes could attend classes in the summer session if it fits their schedule. In the age of the Internet some classes can be seen remotely or they are recorded by the professor and can be watched at a student's convenience. I think athletes can figure out how to choose the right classes in the right quarter and get a high quality education.
