Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 5303066, member: 38"] That's not how the ACC contract works. The ACC can add schools independent of whatever ESPN thinks. ESPN is paying full freight for those west coast teams and SMU - the ACC is keeping most of that money, and all of in the case of SMU, and distributing it to its members. SMU gets nothing, I believe for the duration of the contract while Cal and Stanford start at 30% and eventually get 70% after eight years. The rest of the ACC will share around an extra $60,000,000 a year. ESPN has no interest in Cal or Stanford at $35,000,000 a year, but there they are. The ACC has no interest in us coming in for free, so here we are. [/QUOTE]
