It is very difficult to get accurate projectsion. The average payout for the ACC last year is listed as $44.8 million. However, GT is listed as $55.36 million from "Conference/NCAA Distributions, Media Rights, and Post-Season Football" in the Knight database. How the numbers are derived for...

Past tense. It has already happened. As has been mentioned multiple times by @Vespidae , the playoffs are not related to football or sports at all, it is all about revenue. There is no desire to have a champion, only a desire to make more money. CFP has been on this path since at least the...

How do we know that THIS PROPOSAL has been discussed in multiple meetings, or even for an entire call that lasted 6 hours. From the ESPN article: "Not widely distributed or discussed"? Discussed during the "regularly scheduled meeting". There might have been a six hour meeting in which it...

Not yet. not looking numbers up at the moment, but I think the SEC was something like $8-10 million more last fiscal year. However, the projections show it rising. The SEC media payouts are getting a large bump in this fiscal year. Assuming the ACC increases at the same percentage rate that...

From where it was reported first, it appears that the leak about this "proposal" came from Clemson. For both schools, if they can get something, then they can drop the lawsuits without too much blowback from their fans. IF ESPN raises the media payouts to the ACC, and some of that raise is...

I watched the KQ Youtube video. I think the question was something like how can he miss any of the D2 type basketball games if he is covering GT. He basically said that covering GT is his job and that he wanted to be able to have some time with family. That lower level basketball games that...

According to an article two days ago on ESPN: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/41307506/acc-clemson-florida-state-renew-discussions-revenue-distribution-model The article says (or at least implies) that while they would be open to an unequal revenue split, they don't know the...

The problem is that there is already a "collective" on the NCAA side. It is collusion for a collective on one side to make decisions and force individuals on the other side to accept them. The large tech companies got into trouble because they had agreements to not poach each others employees...

ESPN had an article about the House lawsuit a couple of days ago: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/41305180/attorneys-working-address-judge-qualms-ncaa-settlement Apparently, the issues the judge has with the settlement is precisely related to limits on 3rd party payments to...

SMU is receiving money from the ACC. They are not receiving media rights money, but they are receiving other monies. I don't know how the ACCN is set up, but I would think the revenue from the network is not "media rights" money. All ACC teams are required to have production and broadcast...

There was something similar in place already. However, it wasn't significant. Schools that made bowl games, tournaments, etc received more money. However, it was along the lines of travel fund money instead of anything significant. There has historically been a difference of a few million...

If you feel it is a good deal, please let me know what the advantage to the rest of the ACC is. FSU and Clemson get more money, while the rest of the ACC doesn't? FSU and Clemson have a guaranteed departure in 2030? The lawsuits could easily take that long for a departure, even if they win...

Whether people watch or not, having SMU in the conference automatically pulls in about $2.7 million per month into the ACC Network.

And that is what I have been saying. It makes no sense to pay more to those two schools and shorten the GOR at the same time. That would be like me telling my boss that I want a 25% salary increase, and reduction in hours from 40 to 30. Both things are in my favor and it isn't a negotiation...

The rumor is that the negotiation to the lawsuit is higher payouts to Clemson and FSU, and the end date of the GOR changing to 2030. That is why I said it doesn't make sense to the other members. That would be giving them what they want, and paying them more in the mean time.

USC and UCLA joined to coincide with the media negotiations. Oregon and Washington joined after the media contracts were finalized, it at least finalized in principle. That is the reason I have been saying that by neither P2 conference is going to accept a new member at full price until the...

Then get Clemson and FSU to agree to no changes to revenue distribution and no changes to the GOR. that is the best possible outcome of the lawsuits to the rest of the ACC. A free pass in 2030 is among your best case outcomes of the lawsuit for Clemson and FSU. The supposed agreement that we...

FSU doesn't have the big money donors that SMU has. If they did, then they would already have the revenue that UF has. They would not have reached out to private equity to try to gather money for a full payout if the GOR. FSU had a lot of people who can donate $1k. They have a few that can...

Just my opinion: Neither P2 conference is going to add more teams until 2030 (Big10), and 2034(SEC). They might add a team at a reduced payout, but nothing close to a full payout. An agreement to pay more to Clemson and FSU until 2030, and then allow them to leave without consequence isn't a...

I agree with his comments about that. The NIL collectives are basically proxies for the athletic associations/teams. The "institutional" payments are not really any different than what is happening now, except for semantics about where the money comes from. I don't understand why there is...
