Segiura: Big ACC distribution boost for upcoming Tech budget

The distribution from the ACC increased by 32 percent, from $17.9 million to $23.6 million. The distribution largely comes from ESPN, and the boost is a result of the ACC’s renegotiated contract with the network after the addition of Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the grant of rights and the upcoming college football playoff. (According to the budget notes, the playoff agreement is worth $3 million in new revenue and the additions to the ACC were worth $2.5 in additional revenue.)

I wonder if this is how we're paying for the increased recruiting staff and weight room renovation? Also, maybe giving Pelton a raise might be a good idea.

It's interesting our most recent trip to the ACC Championship game COST us money! Dang. There's no way the ACC should force its members to foot that kind of bill.

How about another raise for CPJ? Watch people's heads explode.

Even I would say no to that. We need to see his latest round of changes actually working first.

"Free education, no compensation" for athletes. How does that work for guys that go to UNC and get zip-point-zero for an education?

For the record, I wasn't being serious.
