#SMU is giving up an unprecedented 9 years of TV money to get in the ACC.
But it has more than $200 million committed by oil billionaires and others to make up the difference.
SMU bought its way to the top once. Can it do it again? (Legally, this time)

the ACC only added #SMU because they’re too cheap to pay for direct flights to California and have to connect at DFW

To explain #SMU's position: The school will receive money from NCAAT units, football postseason, ACC Network. Just not the biggest slices of the media rights pie.
SMU believes it will make about what it would make staying in the AAC.

From the Death Penalty to rock bottom to left behind to back in a "Power" conference, what a moment for #SMU.
It's been a long road back with a lot of work put in.
"They need to get to a major conference,” Eric Dickerson told me last year.

Sources: #ACC presidents have scheduled a call tonight to discuss — and potentially vote on — adding #Stanford, #Cal and #SMU. Still tentative on whether the vote will occur or what result would be, but this is moving toward the finish line. First reported by @RossDellenger

Simply fascinating that #SMU got itself into the #ACC expansion discussion by effectively offering to subsidize the additions of #Stanford and #Cal by taking zero media money for 7(!) years. This is bizarro world even by conference realignment standards.

Source confirms to @TheAthletic that the ACC is (again) seriously considering adding #Stanford, #Cal and #SMU. A group of ACC presidents met Wednesday morning to discuss finances, as ESPN first reported. More meetings, including ADs, are expected to occur this week.

Just remembered the Dodger Stadium flood photo comes almost exactly one year since the #SMU stadium turf bulge last year. Would've been fun to play a game on this.

Tuesday column: when #FloridaState and #Clemson might hit the bricks (to where is another story). Plus the “big guns” from the political realm lobbying for #Stanford and #SMU, and which #ACC AD is considered the “loose block in the Jenga tower”?

#TCU indefinitely “pausing” its series with #SMU after the 2025 game, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ@twitter.com. The schools, located 35 miles apart, first met in 1915. This year’s game at TCU will be the 102nd meeting b/w the Horned Frogs & Mustangs in the Iron Skillet Rivalry

There are knock on effects of realignment that don’t get discussed enough.

So pretty pissed off that my kid’s university which forces students to buy a meal plan, (and assured us this would never happen), had ZERO vegan options this evening. AGAIN. Get your shit together #SMU
