Start in July.

Yeah. I mean the schedule. Who will play who??

I know, I was just messing with you . I don't know how they will sort out that mess.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

A bunch of ill informed dopes putting up complete guesses in here.

Are you surprised?

 

[Tony4Canes]

So.... if reading correctly, SMU no payouts for 7 years and Cal & Stanford about 8 million year??

What a pathetic conference and shameful for UM to go along with this garbage.

 

[TriStarCane]

This doesn’t help our basketball schedule at all

What a pathetic conference and shameful for UM to go along with this garbage.

What are you talking about??? Haven’t you seen the 1000’s of words spoken as gospel that Miami has a PLAN to exit this conference even though there is no evidence in any space that they do? You MUST not be connected enough

Certainly does. With 15 members it takes 8 votes to dissolve the ACC, and by adding 3 new members it will take 10 votes to dissolve. So if we want to dissolve the ACC it needs to happen BEFORE the 3 new programs are added.

Ugh. Stop making stuff up.

The "insiders" here said FSU and Miami were leaving by August 15. That ESPN was negotiating with Fox. That Miami would never vote for expansion. That there are easy ways to break an assignment. And that a majority of votes dissolves the conference and presumably that makes its assets disappear or something.

It's all message board armchair lawyer BS.

This thread should be a fun appetizer heading into the game tonight

Yes, can we have Julio Frenk’s head on a plate. Disgusted he voted this way but he has sucked for a decade outside of one day.

Terrible decision with no concessions if that is what plays out but all this really does is take the dissolution path off the table.

horrible leadership- they could have landed more teams a year go from pac12 instead of picking up two remnants.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall at UM when they discussed this. I wonder if this is a unilateral decision by Frenk or if Rudy/Rad pushed for this approach. I hope they know what they're doing but our track record isn't great.

 

[L A M P]

I wonder what the real story/play is. Obviously it's not what we see on the surface. My guess: a lowered exit fee. (perhaps even covered by new conferences)

 

[Yoyo82]

so now we're in the same conference as SMU?

sigh....

Adding these 3 seems like such a stretch… I have nothing against those 3 schools, but to your point, a proactive conference would have had a better plan and more attractive schools…

Palo Alto and Stanford is wonderful, but if I’m gearing up to fly to California for a football game, I was hoping for LA and USC…

SMU with TCU or Baylor… great… for Texas… Just SMU …

The ACwtfC …

they could have easily taken any of the teams that went to the B12 and maybe even Oregon/Washington listen for full shares of the ACC instead of partial shares from the B1G...

what a joke.. short sighted reactionary.. can't believe 12 major university presidents are that blind...

the ACC is dead.. diluting it by adding 2nd and 3rd tier programs will only delay the inevitable..

Stanford and Cal are on a tier higher than 2/3 of the ACC.

The intriguing "no" vote is UNC.

Seems pretty apparent FSU and Clemson are tied at the hip, but what's up with the ACC's flagship institution voting against expansion and its Board of Regents putting out a statement that lays out the conference's irreparable financial shortcomings
