12-3 vote and SMU will forgo 9 years of ACC TV revenue, Stanford/Cal start
with only 30%. Wow, the truth is all parties: ACC (FSU/Clemson, UNC, and us), Stanford/Cal, and SMU don't have better options. I think it's a good idea. I am not sure we would get this kind of deal if ACC reacted very proactively. Sometimes you just have to be patient.

We sure have evolved. I would have rather they just said, we will pass. Rationalize all we want but we are no better. Will the ACC one day end like the Big East did?

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.

It would be fun if they really take off.

their NIL support? Might take a few years, but they will be a tough out moving forward.

Lack of trust that UNC will not leave them hanging in future?

commissioner just asked them to vote No so ACC can get a better deal from SMU/Cal/Stanford.

Has anyone asked UConn? Maybe we can get them to pay FSU $10 Million a year to join.

of them shared equally and how much goes to the reward program.

Is the additional $17 million related to the ACCN?
Also, wonder how the NCAA is going to allocate the basketball tournament credits the PAC 12 has - allocate prorata based on the number of schools and their new conferences?

total around 72M. They also expect a little bit more from ACC network by getting Cal and Texas, but I don’t know how much.
