The ACC will hold a series of meetings this week to discuss the potential additions of Stanford, California and SMU, including how additional money from the schools would be distributed among ACC members, sources told ESPN..
A vote of 12 of the 15 ACC schools is needed to approve the additions, and just one new positive vote is needed among the block of four -- North Carolina, NC State, Clemson and Florida State -- that has indicated dissent against the move in prior meetings. One vote of those four is needed, assuming all of the"yes" votes are aligned with the financial model.
The financial concessions from the three schools will create a pool of money, and the ACC presidents are having discussions on how it would be split. The mechanics of that are still to be worked out, sources said, including a performance pool for success initiatives. The potential additions come at a time when the ACC has appeared increasingly fragmented. Florida State's leadership has been vocal about needing more money to stay in the ACC in recent weeks, and Clemson's leadership in recent months has publicly indicated a preference for a new financial model within the league.
