ACC considering adding Cal, Stanford & SMU or just Cal & Stanford, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. 1st report by @RossDellenger. SMU has a $10 million exit fee to leave AAC w/less than 27 months notice so that number could double. In May, ACC source told @ActionNetworkHQ league had no interest in expanding. “We already have too many mouths to feed,” source said then. Today? “Obviously a lot has happened in the past few months”

ACC already has 14 members plus 5 game football schedule agreements with Notre Dame for football and full membership in Olympic sports. I guess SMU could tie in with Notre Dame in the future if it ever happens. Otherwise I’d think Stanford and CAL. Still a lot of Olympic sports going to the West Coast.
SMU will find it’s way into the P5. They are historically a name program.
It may be worth leaving the PAC4 on an island for 6 months before making an offer. Put the squeeze on them, get a better deal for the Big 12 or ACC.
The ACC is really going to be interesting to see how it turns out. They are stuck in a ‘bad’ contract through 2036 (when compared to B1G and SEC), BUT they also have grant of rights from all the schools through 2036.
The B1G school are already getting 2-3x per year more than the ACC AND they get to renegotiate their contract in 2030, so they could be at 4-5x annual of an ACC school. Even the Big12 will get a renewal in before the ACC.
I see a lawsuit coming from a few ACC member schools trying to get out of the grant of rights.
At this point, is anyone upset if the SBC presidents kicked ULM out and added ed LA Tech?
Natural UL rival.
I would welcome it.
Not interested in LTUR. They made it clear on too many occasions they wanted nothing to do with us
