Here’s how SMU got into the ACC
When the Atlantic Coast Conference decided to expand, they didn’t just add two schools from the disintegrating PAC-12. They also added SMU, which at first seemed to be an odd choice.
It soon became known that SMU was forgoing television payouts from the ACC for a considerable period of time. Most schools couldn’t keep their programs afloat without that revenue.
So how can SMU pull it off? Here’s how:
SMU announced that it raised $100 million during the week following the ACC announcement.

At least $100 million more is eventually coming as part of a commitment from a small group of billionaire boosters👇 https://t.co/3cDHVJfn6A
They basically made up three years of ACC television revenue in donations in one week. Salute.
