Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 5040190, member: 694"] SMU isn't in the ACC for their value. They're there because they offered to take $0 when no other school had. The ACC TV deal had a pro-rata clause, so any additive subscriber dollars for SMU in Texas, plus their pro-rata (plus the remainder of the Stanford & Cal pro-rata as they only got partial shares as well) is what the ACC is using to fund the new performance pool they created in an attempt to convince FSU & Clemson that they'll make more if they perform as well as they thought. There was no negotiation about SMU's worth.... SMU said "would you take us for free (well actually will you take us and this bucket of TV dollars)" and the ACC said yes. [/QUOTE]
