Net I don't see any value to Cal/Stan/SMU since they would all be taking little to nothing for the first five years or so. The net for the conference would be substantial and it would help them pay the Clemsons and FSUs more money. But what about in five years when it's time to pay the three new schools? Is the ACC going to take away the uplift for FSU and Clemson, or will the new schools be stuck earning a pittance?
For the Big 12 there is no net increase and it would actually be modest loss. They'll pay the new schools more money up front, but the existing schools would get no uplift out of it and would actually have to split the remaining parts of the total payout between four additional schools. It would be a net loss for them but a much better deal for the Pac 4.
