Why SMU over Oregon State? Just the ACCN subs in TX? Or other good reason?
Since this is solely and only a money grab by the ACC, I get that the ACCN in Texas probably will justify the SMU invitation. Probably. I'm curious though to see the numbers on projections of new ACCN subscribers in Oregon if Oregon State would have been invited instead. Better travel partners for Cal & Stanford, already a P5 school, renovated stadium, equal or better national image than SMU. Lots of pros, and likely some cons as well. The main positive for SMU? Simply their location in Texas IMO. Nothing else.
PS - Not the same thought for Washington State at all. They should not have ever been a P5 school, and will fit in perfectly in either the Mtn West or the Big Sky.

Doubtful, but I don't know. Mtn. West is currently paying $4M per school.
