That's technically correct but athletes affiliated with Stanford and Cal won over half the total medals that the ACC is counting.

If athletes from Stanford and Cal were their own conference, they would rank in a respectable 3rd place in Olympic medals behind the B1G and SEC.

Not sure how that is relevant.  Currently and as far as we can see the ACC is the strongest conference by a long shot. 

Your point argues for why we should embrace the ACC.

Interesting that the conference has six universities in the Top 25, ten in the top 50, 15 of the 18 in the Top 75, and all but one in the top 100. That's a packed conference, academically speaking. Pretty cool.

I wasn't including the Ivy League in my analysis.

There are some who argue that we should give up our athletic ambitions and follow the Ivy League approach.  I see this as an entirely subjective view and not something that can be resolved by rational debate.
