Isn't this because they want the money divided up differently? They wanted more money for basketball wins, I believe.
You can get a direct flight from Raleigh to Seattle via Alaskan 5 hrs . piece of cake . Getting into spots not serviced directly is the adventure .Wait until they join the B1G and start flying their “student” athletes to Seattle
To me it sounds like they are demanding more money for a yes vote. Therein lies the inherent problem with unequal distributions. They create divisiveness as everybody scrambles to get the biggest piece of the pie.They don’t release that if they think the deal is going to fail. They are trying to box in the chancellor. Could all be moot if State has already flipped.
If the ACC goes ahead with expansion, it will blow up in their face. SMU offering to come for free in order to pay Clemson and FSU more money is the defintion of a Ponzi Scheme. It’s illegal and I am certain it will call for major scrutiny. In other walks of life, people go to jail for this behavior.
It's what unhealthy conferences have in common. One or more schools demanding a bigger share of the pie. In essence wanting screw a fellow conference mate(s).To me it sounds like they are demanding more money for a yes vote. Therein lies the inherent problem with unequal distributions.

I think they have analyzed the situation and they have come to a logical conclusion. If adding the schools added $15 million per ACC school, I think UNC would vote yes. The economics of adding the 3 is not great as schools would get a few more million per year initially, but ultimately the 3 expansion candidates will get full shares. And, travel for UNC would increase and be more costly. Right now, the 2 longest flights UNC athletes have to take are slightly over 2 hours to Boston and Miami. San Francisco is over 6 hours from Raleigh (less on the way back) and Dallas is over 3 hours. And, there are only 2 direct flights per day between Raleigh and San Francisco.To me it sounds like they are demanding more money for a yes vote.

Not half the fan base. That half wanted the ACC twice but the smart ones realized Lucy was playing with them and got realisticGood. I'm glad. I'm sure this makes half our fan base happy, so I'm happy they're happy.
There will be in invite for sure FINALLY once half of their schools leave. By then they’ll invite also have ECU, Temple, USF, Memphis,FAU, Tulsa to backfill. NO Thanks. Dont want to reunite with those AAC dregs“But we’ll be in the ACC for sure!”
It's absolutely insane to be honest. Should have been in with Syracuse.Conference realignment really could not have gone any worse for us. This is crazy.
Well, to paraphrase major league, I guess the only thing left for us to do is win the whole eph.ing thing... again.Conference realignment really could not have gone any worse for us. This is crazy.
They're adding one of the worst athletic department in the country when it comes to major sports, they dont care about sports at all, and they're getting an invite because.... they feel bad? Seriously it seems like Cal is getting a spot because people feel bad. It's so weird.It's absolutely insane to be honest. Should have been in with Syracuse.
That's the excuse. The reason is they were both willing to take $.30 on the dollar which freed up $.70 on the dollar to be distributed elsewhere. SMU took nothing leaving their full distribution shared to be distributed elsewhere.They're adding one of the worst athletic department in the country when it comes to major sports, they dont care about sports at all, and they're getting an invite because.... they feel bad?

Logic dictates that we are definitely playing that card and this fall is our audition. Can we change any ACC minds- IDK - doesn't look great.We need to offer a deal close to SMU. We aren't getting much from TV now anyway, and the ACC at 17 football schools is a weird number.
