First of all I’m a Stanford fan and have paid for the first of season tix.  I’m very excited.  Could care less about the ACC but beats all to H not being in a strong athletic league
Qwerty I’m sure you know when talking NIL it’s not necessarily thru the school. Brink with many deals Haley Jones with her Shoe deal for instance and other WBB and WVB I’m aware of

To two coaches I have talked to or chalk talks the 40 year decision is alive a well and the recruiting shows that

I think joining the ACC was Cal and Stanford's only hope of staying at P5 level for the foreseeable future. ACC should have picked up WA State and OR State. Would have made it at least reasonable for Cal and Stanford to have west coast opponents.

Who was going to WSU and OSU?  They would be worth less than the pittance Cal and Stanford are getting.  Who they take 0 like SMU?

SMU gets the ACC into Texas. If you don’t recruit well in .texas, Florida and California and you aren’t I the SEC, you don’t do well. Plus SMU ready, willing and able to put many millions into their athletic program.  Right now, the lose out To Texas in the TV market even though Texas is in Austin. But if they excel, and I suspect they will, the ACC will do very well in the DFW TV market.  that’s brobdingnagian.  So recruiting and ad $ are what SMU brings to the ACC
