more interesting question to me is the 30M exit fee the mwc says sdsu owes them

Made me curious so I looked it up.

Expansion appears to be over for a while. This is working out great.
The ACC is locked with 5 dissenting votes that won’t change anytime in the near future.
The B1G isn’t doing anything unless it’s for ND.
The B12 is done for a while.
The SEC is sitting on their front porch yelling at everyone to stay off their lawn!

Just put the P4 to bed in the MWest & send Stanford to Indyville.

Dont forget to laugh at SMU.

Possibly. They didn’t take a formal vote last time. It was more like a show of hands, as they knew they didn’t have the votes.

FSU, Clemson NC St., NC, & Miami are against expansion. It’s doubtful they’ll change, and 2 would be needed for 12 of 15 votes.
If they changed their mind, adding Stanford/Cal would destroy any chance to get out of the ACC before about 2030.

Right now they need 8 votes to dissolve the GOR, and maybe have 7.
If they add more teams (who will definitely be against dissolving); then they’ll need more votes.

Just to leave the ACC right now it would cost $120m, but they’d have to go back and rescue their media rights. $30m x 13 years = $390m. That’s roughly $500m total.
Maybe I’ve missed something, but it looks like a tuff nut to crack.

I do see where they are offering 1/2 shares to S / Cal., and the other 1/2 would be funneled to the 4 or 5 outlier teams. So maybe $7m extra per team for 5 or 6 years.

I don’t think that will appease these teams, but who knows, maybe they just want a win they can show their fans.

Might not be a bad idea....Although not often, Frog fan laughter has been snuffed out by the Horses; twice out of the most recent games with SMU....

Yes, they splendidly doubled their victory count. They are now 4-19 vs TCU over the last 25 years.

On Ponyfans, they like to present this stunning accomplishment via the arbitray timeframe ploy: "SMU has won 2 of the last 3 games." Why not "2 of the last 5 games"? Or "2 of the last 10 games"? Because those timeframes don't sound nearly as impressive.

One Pony even concluded that the series is "trending in SMU's favor." He doesn't even have Horse sense.

I service the entire Quad Cities Area
Supposedly the ACC is meeting this morning to finally decide if they will invite Stanford, Cal and SMU. One "ACC Insider" is spreading a rumor that the North Carolina Schools have flipped such that Calford will be added. Not sure about SMU. Hopefully we will get some closure on this today - either a statement that the ACC will not be expanding or a formal invitation is offered and accepted.

I still think that's bad deal for the California schools and the top ACC teams to join, but it may be better than any of the California teams' other options.

I don’t think smooo is included in the list at this point. Think it’s just Cal/Stanford being pushed up that steep ACC hill. (The coke heads on the hilltop continue to push the narrative they are still in the mix tho…)
