Maybe Duke recommended them? The Blue Devils played Elon in 2024 and 2025.
I'm guessing that the ACC released its new, mostly (for this season) 9-game schedule last December and Stanford wasn't able to find an FBS team to fill that opening.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
