Thamel: Cal, Stanford, SMU under serious consideration by ACC (link).

From ESPN's Pete Thamel: "Sources: The potential additions of Cal, Stanford and SMU to the ACC are again under serious consideration by the ACC. A small group of ACC presidents met Wednesday morning to discuss financial models that would come with the additions. Those models are are expected to include significant financial concessions from the school that will be added. More meetings are expected this week. Just one vote is needed among the block of UNC, N.C. State, Clemson and FSU to get the three new schools in, assuming all the yes votes are in agreement with the financial arrangements. A realistic timeline for a decision is about one week. There’s expected to be a pool of money created from these additions, and the ACC presidents are discussing how the money would be split. The mechanics of that are still to be worked out, including a performance pool for success initiatives. The concessions expected from SMU include a willingness to take no broadcast media revenue for the first seven years they are in the league. Stanford and Cal would both receive the same share, which will both be reduced but different in form than SMU's concessions.

Typical of the ACC to react instead of leading the way.

If it’s going to happen, might as well add WSU/OSU

Likely not to happen I know, but leaves a spot for ND to get to 18.**
VTBoar 08/23/23 04:44 PM ET
There's always a spot for ND. Even if we go to 24.

Will these additions change the TV contract? Does this effect the GOR? **

No effect on the GOR**
xx97 08/23/23 05:14 PM ET
I suspect they would all have to son GOR.
HokieDelNorte 08/23/23 05:45 PM ET
despite the abundance of wishful thinking, the GOR won't be affected

Ross Dellinger, Yahoo Sports reporting $72 million more to ACC.

ESPN was prepared to pay for the PAC12
HOO86 08/23/23 04:53 PM ET
No. The GOR is between each school and the ACC
HOO86 08/23/23 04:23 PM ET

pissing off FSU is the icing on the cake 😂**
MrBayAreaHokie 08/23/23 05:38 PM ET
FSU will get opportunity to make more.

I think it helps buy time until 2036. Who knows what the landscape will

If they are accepted, it will be a unanimous vote. **

This Just Makes the ACC Dissolution Vote Even a Lesser Possibility
WarHog38 08/23/23 04:55 PM ET
Ain't happenin' anyway. FSU and Clemson might as well just go along with
Maroon Baboon 08/23/23 06:51 PM ET
Hopefully they can work on a deal that gets all 15 votes.
HOO86 08/23/23 04:22 PM ET
FSU should not get more money than the rest of the ACC members for this! **
Lakeridgehokie 08/23/23 05:21 PM ET
If they make it Performance Based, then FSU will have to earn it.
HOO86 08/23/23 06:14 PM ET
Well if becomes a fait accompli I would hope that even FSU would have the
Vippie1 08/23/23 04:32 PM ET
Why does The ACC want this? Is the added money enough to solve
33laszlo99 08/23/23 05:04 PM ET
Solves nothing, just makes reacting to the future harder

If it gets VT an extra $5-10 million a year then it’s worth it
