Come on ACC, Cal & Stanford look so lonely out West. Add two to join.
Outside the fact that it doesn’t, you’re completely right.Just makes it now virtually impossible to dissolve the ACC and leave without the $120M exit fee and a 'cloudy' GOR.
What are you talking about??? Haven’t you seen the 1000’s of words spoken as gospel that Miami has a PLAN to exit this conference even though there is no evidence in any space that they do? You MUST not be connected enough

I thought it read 7 years ....but either way it's a horrendous deal.....WOW, no payments for 9 years for SMU
From what I read it was more to protect from having ESPN renegotiate the GOR with the ACC.... The conference needs at least 15 members for the deal to stay in their favor... If it falls under - By way of various teams leaving - then ESPN has rights to squash the deal as is and renegotiate a new one which would certainly be for way less money then is already on the table.... ACC is in desperation mode it seems....Just makes it now virtually impossible to dissolve the ACC and leave without the $120M exit fee and a 'cloudy' GOR.
Prepping for FGCU, USF and Pepperdine… savvyTheir football
This is all SMU needed. Just get their foot in the door. Few years from now they are gonna be trouble.
Mods can we change this handle to PedoWanderFranco. Thanks
Perhaps. Are you a director?Are you a writer in Hollywood?
or maybe with 18 teams the conference can let three leave with a reasonable settlement and still maintain the current ESPN contract which requires 15.Certainly does. With 15 members it takes 8 votes to dissolve the ACC, and by adding 3 new members it will take 10 votes to dissolve. So if we want to dissolve the ACC it needs to happen BEFORE the 3 new programs are added.
SMU wanted out of the American, and was willing to pay to do it. That Oil/RE money is long enough to where they can eat the lack of TV revenue, if it means that once that period passes, they are getting significantly more than they did in the AAC.I thought it read 7 years ....but either way it's a horrendous deal.....
At a complete loss for words right now.... Just when I think things couldn't get any dumber things goes next level braindead....
