SMU could turn into the top football team in the ACC. FSU and Clemson are

tops now, but once SMU starts throwing around cash they might bump off one of those teams. They are borderline top 25 in the AAC now. Even a haircut share of the ACC money is better than what they are getting now. Whoever is running things there, either their AD or Prez has his act together. The SMU addition seems to rub people the wrong way more than Stanford and Cal. Some schools just need a better conference affiliation to reach their potential. SMU seems like like one such case. Looks like we're stuck in the ACC, so we might as well get some more money and have better teams to play. This checks both boxes. I'm no ACC fan, but I'm pretty excited about this, relative to the status quo.

12-3 vote and SMU will forgo 9 years of ACC TV revenue, Stanford/Cal start

So the ACC is giving SMU the ole Big East treatment they gave the Hokies.

SMU wanted this deal.**

SMU agreed to it, but would have liked a better deal. Just like VT/Big East

I think SMU will be the VT addition.

I agree. They could turn into a machine. Lots of Dallas talent. They are

They are under rated, and now that they can recruit in the "P5", with

I actually don't know why they voted No in the first place, maybe
icelus 09/01/23 10:31 AM ET
Likely only UNC saying they were against it!! **

I wonder how much UConn would give us?
Truthahn 09/01/23 10:24 AM ET
lol, I am wondering how ACC is going to share this extra $55M/yr. How much
icelus 09/01/23 10:30 AM ET
Yep, but what happened to the $72 million that was thrown out there?
RJHokie 09/01/23 11:52 AM ET
55M is extra, they said 1M per school just over the extra travel expenses,
icelus 09/01/23 12:01 PM ET
