A confidential source shared a potential expansion by the ACC which could include snagging two schools from the Pac-12.
The person said Commissioner Jim Phillips has continued to work on a revenue distribution model that would direct a large portion of the money ESPN would pay the conference to cover three new members to a pool that pays out performance-based bonuses.
The person said the league was trying to arrange a meeting of its athletic directors for Thursday, but there was no meeting of the full board of presidents and chancellors yet scheduled. ACC leaders earlier this year agreed to a"success incentive initiative" that would allow schools to earn more money generated from their own postseason performances. Media rights revenue is shared equally in the ACC, but expansion could force a shift in that philosophy.
Schools joining a new conference often receive reduced shares of revenue. Stanford last week informed Pac-12 partners
