ACC expansion discussions are intensifying as conference leaders continue to consider the acquisition of Stanford, Cal and SMU, multiple sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Believed to be a long shot just days ago, expansion remains a legitimate possibility as new financial models have been socialized with league administrators. The models show a financial boon of more than $55 million in annual additional revenue for the conference, sources tell Yahoo Sports.
More meetings among ACC administrators are planned for this week, including a call with presidents Thursday as well as a separate meeting with athletic directors. The timeline is murky, but a final decision is expected as early as next week. Several sources expressed confidence in a reversal of a straw poll taken two weeks ago.
However, negotiations are ongoing regarding a distribution method for the additional revenue. The extra $30-some odd million annually distributed evenly to all schools is a fraction of a Power Five athletic budget and is not thought to be healthy enough to incentivize any of the dissenters to change their minds.
How the additional expansion revenue is distributed remains a discussion point: evenly or through an incentive-based system? The ACC’s decision on this could impact the entire expansion agreement.“The league has done a good job of finding a solution,” said another official. “I think this is going to eventually pass.”
