We tried to tell them (voted no) and they wanted to join anyway so it’s on them.

^^^^^^^^This. Clemson voted no on expansion. We all know who voted "yes". Time to leave. And with all their oil money donors, I don't think they will miss a beat.

They had no option other than drop to a nonpower 5 conference if they didn’t get in the ACC.

ESPN (SEC) and FOX (B1G) are laying waste to college football programs across the country. Hence these desperate moves by SMU, our suing the ACC this week, etc.

They have "Miller Money". That is why they can forfeit the ACC revenue. They'll be fine.

It took their big money oil donors about a week to raise 9 years worth of funding to cover that lost revenue. They didn't bat an eye at the terms.

They were desperate, and let's be honest, the ACC adding the 3 teams was likely because they knew they (the ACC) would be losing at least 2 teams soon.

SMU was in the AAC and C*USA before the ACC. Both are still intact.

So I did some research and found those two conferences are still intact.

SMU becomes a full member and starts collecting TV revenue if the ACC loses members.
I do believe they are betting on a few teams leaving in the near future.

Anyone know if SMU approached the B12? Thought they would be a decent fit there with TCU, Textech and Baylor.

I kinda feel bad for SMU, their media value is worth more than a few other ACC schools and they are the ones taking the biggest pay cut and the conference is about to blow up just as they are arriving.
