[QUOTE="Techster, post: 954757, member: 360"] 1. Where do you think the uneven revenue sharing (based off of postseason performance) came from? You think the ACC got ahead of everything and proposed the idea revenue distribution based on postseason play out of good will? It's pretty obvious the ACC was pressured into that by the bigger programs. The reality is the ACC as a conference did not have to contractually do that because what are the teams going to do? Leave? Not until 2036...yet they changed the terms of distribution. Why do you suppose they did that? Who do you think pressured the ACC to do that? 2. You can argue whether or not FSU is a "brand" and where they stack in the ACC order. That's an argument you will have to personally come to terms with. Metrics by viewership has indicated FSU is getting the most eyeballs in the ACC. Whether FSU is good or not doesn't matter...what matters is the amount of eyeballs they command. Right now, they are top draw in the ACC, regardless of how putrid they've been until last year. This isn't hysteria. This is more like an earthquake shifting tectonic plates. Some will say it's just a course of nature, others will think the world is ending. What's true is somewhere in between, but with any earthquake, lines will be shifted. If you think the ACC is in a safe spot, I guess you'll be comforted. As I said, I care about GT, not the ACC. GT should have left the ACC a decade ago, but we didn't. Our fate will be left to others to decide now. [/QUOTE]
