SMU to ACC?

[MidnightJacket]

SMU has invested $250 million into their facilities, $100 million of which is geared towards the stadium.

SMU Athletics invests over $250 million in championship-caliber facilities

The university’s new athletics facilities serve the school’s 17 Division I sports, each student-athlete and all Dallas sports fans.

I'm sure this is not the first time this question has been asked over the years... But where the hell are they getting all this money with such a small fanbase?

Highland and University Park are a whole other level of F-You money.

SMU = Texas Oil Money

The way the ACC Network contract is written, the monthly payment is 10 times higher if there is an ACC team in the same STATE of the Cable TV subscriber. Stanford, Cal and SMU give us California and Texas ACC Network. That ain't chump change.

SMU also provides a geographic middle-ground that may help bridge the gap with Stanford and Cal. There might even be an opportunity to get creative with hosting some non-football sporting events at SMU facilities.

Indeed it does.

I'm an SMU alum. The billionaire and multi-millionaire alumni give to athletics pretty heavily.

I was at a business meeting at SMU earlier this year. The campus looks as good as the stadium does.

2 NFL teams (Colts and Chiefs) are owned by SMU alums (Jim Irsay and Clark Hunt).

The ACC is quickly bucking to become non P5
