Acc to officially add smu, call, and Stanford. Vote was taken last night. Don’t know the votes at this time it is believed that NC politics got involved as they tell the NC schools what to do.
Acc to officially expand.

- Start date
Where are you seeing this? Only thing I can find is that they're working to secure a meeting today, presumably to vote.
Also, doesn't sound like UNC is fully on board at all. Of course, the BOT doesn't get to vote.
Damn dude...why so emotional? Just asking a question. You said last night, clearly that didn't happen last night.
It did happen last night. I know exactly when the vote was taken. I don’t depend on espn. News just broke this morning. It broke at 7:30. You really think they got up at 6am to hold a vote.
What was the exact time?
Thamel's story broke at 8AM. The one you told me to go read as proof. The one that stated the voted this morning. And yes, if there is an urgent matter it's perfectly normal for votes to happen before or after normal business hours. You really think they'd be able to hold an expansion vote and it NOT leak for 12 hours??
Per ESPN, who you sourced: "The ACC presidents and chancellors met Friday morning and voted to add three schools."
ACC adds Stanford, Cal, SMU beginning 2024-25
The ACC presidents and chancellors voted to add three schools -- Stanford, Cal and SMU -- beginning in the 2024-25 school year. It will bring the ACC to 18 members, with 17 playing football full time in the conference.

He knows the REAL story. Thamel is just a low credibility hack.Per ESPN, who you sourced: "The ACC presidents and chancellors met Friday morning and voted to add three schools."

I reckon.
Also, from The Athletic: "The math worked well enough for the current ACC members to vote to add them in a meeting Friday morning."

But, YES, the vote was last night and he knows exactly when! lol
Apparently there is a clause in the contract that allows ESPN to renegotiate the deal if the members fall below 15. And this expansion was just as much about stopping that from happening in the event members decide to leave as it was expanding the footprint. Clemson, FSU, and UNC voted against it.
You think the president alone makes that decision no the board does. Guess what I happen to be best friends with a Clemson bot. He doesn’t give me info that doesn’t break but this had already happened. The vote was taken last night officially. Don’t give a **** what espn says. It doesn’t matter anyway.
Clemson voted no and already has 1/2 a foot out the door anyway.
Puuuuulease. Nobody works before 8 am.I reckon.

Sure he wanted a source that the vote had happened at all. It was there. Then we argued about when which espn is wrong but lt doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
We are expected to believe they voted last night but the story didn't break until 8 this morning? That's an early 1990's news cycle.
Is this one of those things where the "vote" happened last night, all parties gave their consent etc, and then this morning they had the official TEAMS meeting where they could utter the words "aye" and make it official?
Meaning, are we arguing over semantics about when the vote happened?

No. We’re arguing bc someone got in his feels bc I didn’t see the ESPN article on the vote and acted like it was ridiculous that I didn’t know about a vote that happened last night (when all reports say it happened this morning).
May have been. They for sure were not going to hold a vote until they knew they had the vote.
One of the last great pastimes of this country is changing for the worse, and there will be no reversal. Kinda dampens my overall enthusiasm. It's foreseeable that eventually everything will go to pay per view. Probably time to sharpen my golf skills.
Maybe, but with the ACC and B1G expending to the West coast, it's just a matter of time before the NCAA is no more.
Well, except that Oklahoma is contiguous with other SEC states and both Oklahoma and Southern Cal are national marquee football programs. Cal, Stanford, and SMU are all 2nd tier programs in their own markets on top of being thousands of miles away from other conference members.
I know folks use the contiguous argument, but Oklahoma and the Texas schools in the SEC just doesn't make any geographical sense. Nor does Missouri. You could push the contiguous argument to add New Mexico State, then Arizona State, then a California school. Yes, the SEC is more "contained" than the Big 10 or ACC are now, but it still doesn't make sense...it's just the others make less sense.
ACC now has a Tobacco Road and a Hemp Highway

Wow. So SMU is going 9 years with no distributions. And Cal/Stan are taking a 30% share. I don't care what anybody says, that's a steal for the ACC.
SEC adds Texas & Oklahoma
B10 adds SoCal, UCLA, Oregon, & Washington
ACC responds with SMU? Cal? Stanford?
I’m guessing the league talked to Clemson, FSU, and Miami and asked them to just move forward in finding their replacements. No way this is going to be enough to keep teams from leaving. In my opinion, this actually weakens the conference. They would’ve been better off inviting UCF a few years ago.
It’s actually kind of sad to see. I used to love watching ACC basketball and even the football had a charm to it during the noon time slot. I don’t blame the conference for trying to survive. But this reeks of Conference USA once a few teams bolt.
If I were the ACC, I would’ve gone after Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, UCF, and West Virginia. In my opinion, the ACC was in competition with the Big 12 to survive and I believe this just put the nail in the coffin.
If the ACC is still around in 5 years, you’ll probably see Marshall, USF, East Carolina, App State, etc…

lol. Who wants to make a bet that Clem, FSU, and UNC ALL have 2 very long road trips in 2024.
