Breaking down some of the short-term and long-term effects that Cal, SMU, and Stanford joining the ACC has on UVA athletics.
on Monday, as the opening of the 2024-2025 college athletics season marked the expansion of the league to 18 teams in all sports and 17 teams in football. SMU's first official day in the ACC is July 1st, 2024 and Cal and Stanford officially become ACC members on August 2nd, 2024, but all three schools will compete in the ACC in the 2024-2025 season.The news was first reported back in September and it marked the ACC's first foray into this modern era of conference realignment.
All three schools join the ACC at a discounted price, as Cal and Stanford will receive just 30% of a normal member's share of the ACC's broadcast media revenue for the next seven years. The two schools will then receive 70% in the eighth year, 75% in the ninth, and then a full financial share 10 years from now. SMU, meanwhile, will receive no broadcast media revenue for the first nine years the Mustangs are in the conference.
That withheld money is projected to create an annual excess revenue of between $50 and $60 million which will be divided proportionally among the existing members of the ACC, with some of that pot set aside in a pool allocated for success initiatives. While the gap between the ACC and the likes of the SEC and Big Ten is still large in terms of revenue and football supremacy, this move represents a marginal step in the right direction.
In the short term, the most immediate impact is that Virginia's various teams will have more frequent trips across the country to take on these new league members. For, though, those changes won't be quite so apparent this upcoming season, as the Cavaliers will not even leave the Eastern time zone in 2024.
In the first year of the 18-team ACC, Virginia will travel to take on each of the new member schools on the road, as UVA will visit both Cal and Stanford and will play SMU twice, once at home and once on the road.The 2024-2025 season will see Virginia host Cal and Stanford and visit SMU. UVA will then host SMU and play at Cal and Stanford in 2025-2026.Virginia plays at Cal on Saturday, September 21st at 7pm and hosts Stanford on Friday, September 27th at 7pm at Klockner Stadium.
