Stanford, Cal, SMU have been extended offers to the ACC

saw someone suggest a new name on Twitter and I kinda like it. "American Coastal Conference"

Hell if I know. Its cal and stanford that I think are more laughable. SMU has deep pockets. Maybe in a bigger conference they will be willing to put in the resources to be a legitimate program. But I really doubt it.

Can't wait for the highly anticipated Syracuse @ Cal game.

If this were the old NCAA that had some teeth, it'd get 'em another death penalty. With today's NCAA you are probably 100% correct.
 
Now that Stanford is a member, I'm guessing ND pushes to make that one of the 5 games they need to play against the league on an every year basis, which will open up another game for them.

Stanford
ACC team

USC
Navy

5 more games to fill out the schedule.

Stanford vs. ND typically does pretty good ratings wise too. Big win for ND! 😃

So 9 years of no revenue for SMU. The current ACC teams pocket the money.

9 years of no Media revenue. they will still get all other money distributed through the conference from bowls and march madness and such.
 
So the rich SMU daddy buys a spot on the team for Jr. who is a joke. Better put him in right field and pray no one hits the ball to him.

I legitimately don't' understand how SMU is sneaking into all of this? And why are they adding an odd number of teams? How are they getting invites over the remaining Pac teams?

SMU can be really good.. especially now in a P4 conference.. they will get a lot of players in that area to stay.. also, they have some really wealthy guys who love that program..

As far as travel..Dallas is a huge hub for American Airlines.. it's easy to fly in and out of there

you sound jealous
 
Mountain West should be adding OSU and WSU soon. should they go after anyone from the AAC now that they lost SMU? UTSA? Tulane? Memphis? Tulsa?
does the AAC add anyone to get numbers even again?
both conference have scrapped divisions so odd or even numbers dont matter as much
 
It’s just comical at this point.

ACC will be raped of all talent after 2036 if not before and be less attractive than then AAC.

I can’t imagine anyone would leave a stable conference to form a new PAC unless the money was there to make it worth it and the money will not be there.

Why would the ACC agree to that when they could get 6 games out of ND?

I’m betting ND agreed to the 6th game (Stanford) to get them in.

That's what I was about to say. I'm betting ND is now going to have a 6th game.

I wouldn't want to be in the upper echelons of the Oregon State or Washington State athletic departments right now.
I suspect lots of hand wringing and some uncomfortable meetings.

Pretty sure i asked about the MWC not the Pac.
MWC currently just behind the AAC in money. AAC contract was made with Cinci, UCF, Houston, SMU. they are gone. i cant imagine the new one when that comes around will be better.
MWC adding oregon State and WSU at least wont be worse than it currently is.
 
Anybody seen/heard anything on how if at all this affects their GOR?

Does it crack the door open for Clemson/FSU/UNC to begin their exits?

OR are we talking a new GOR ect.?

Also, wonder what the AAC does next? I know they’ve made a statement about not going for the PAC 2 leftovers already.
