In what form is Stanford paying for the privilege of flying 3,000 miles across the country on a Tuesday morning to play a mid-week basketball ga

Is Stanford not receiving a full-share of the ACC's television revenue distribution?

Don't tell me that Stanford is actually paying cash out of pocket for the privilege of flying 3,000 miles.

Think about how hard it's going to be to recruit to Stanford now. Still a world class academic institution of course, arguably now the world's "greatest" university. But if you as a student-athlete (remember that term?) actually plan to attend classes to take advantage of those academics, you now know that virtually every away game is a three-day turnaround for you, including six hours of time zone changes. Anybody else here ever find out on a Monday that they needed to be on the West Coast for a Wednesday meeting, knowing that they needed to be back in the office for a Friday meeting?

Who wants to deal with that every other week?

My apologies. Stanford is playing in the ACC for free.

They are not paying out of pocket for the privilege for playing in the ACC (although they probably would have had the ACC demanded it).
