not sure what smu brings to the table though. I would think Utah, and Zona 1 and Zona 2 have more to offer
SMU has definitely got some POCKETS
Apparently they'd bring a lot of money.

Money. Yormarck must have a package in mind to better monetize the BB. This makes no sense in the package that exists now; but BB is undervalued currently. Kansas gets more fans watching than tOSU in BB. Opening a real feature league could help balance the payments elsewhere.

The snub of FSU by the playoff committee pushed FSU off the edge. LOL
FSU faces a 130 million dollar exit fee as well as the rights to media till 2036. LORD
There is a private hedge fund guy that sits on the Board of Trustee's for FSU and has some idea to fund a way out. Something like we pay the 130 million but you give up the rights to media.
The ACC lawyers filed a day before FSU in North Carolina. They want the case in NC while FSU wants it in Florida.
The funniest thing about this is those Grant to Rights all the schools signed. The only copy of this thing is in ACC headquarters. Basically schools not just FSU have been sending lawyers over there just to look at the dame thing. For years. LOL
