Report: ESPN could pay ACC $72 million more if conference adds three teams

More details are coming out about the impact of ACC expansion, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger. Rumors continue to swirl about the possible additions of Cal, Stanford and SMU, and the TV implications are becoming clear.

If the ACC adds three teams, ESPN could pay the league $72 million in additional revenue, Dellenger reported. No decision has been made yet about the possible additions, but there’s a higher level of confidence than there was before.

The ACC previously met about potentially adding Cal, Stanford and SMU, but the meeting hit “significant roadblocks,” ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported at the time. However, talks started up again this week as the idea comes back around.

This story will be updated.
