Stanford has not given up on getting an invitation to join the Atlantic Coast Conference as its fellow Pac-4 members in the Pacific Northwest hope to rebuild their plundered league and wait to find out if the Cardinal are in.Leaders from Stanford, California, Oregon State and Washington State spoke Thursday, and Stanford told its colleagues it had informed the ACC that it would be open to joining the conference at greatly reduced or even no media rights payout for several years, a person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the schools were not making their internal discussions public.

Donald is used to it, but he’s grateful he didn’t have to fight this week when the Rams hosted the Raiders again.“Not too much stuff, but obviously football is football,” Donald said. “You’re going to have those days when (it’s) a little chippy, but it comes with it. But it was a good day’s work.”The Rams’ two days of joint workouts against Las Vegas this week didn’t include anythin...
