Well it’s official: with the additions of Cal, Stanford on the West Coast and Southern Methodist representing the Gulf, the Atlantic Coast Conference is now the All Coast Conference.
Will it work?
Well it might, at least for a while.
Apparently SMU is willing to forgo revenue for a long time, a fairly astounding nine years. Cal and Stanford will settle for 30 percent for seven years. They’ll get 70 percent in the eighth year, 75 percent in year nine and get full shares in year 10.
The focus is on the ACC obviously but the expansion also drives a shiv into what’s left of the PAC-12.
