Syracuse.com has done the legwork of pulling out how much each ACC spent on football during the 2018-19 season, as reported by each school to the EADA. Here are those numbers for each school for the last 3 seasons...

Which Expenses? 

Those attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities. This includes appearance guarantees and options, athletically related student aid, contract services, equipment, fundraising activities, operating expenses, promotional activities, recruiting expenses, salaries and benefits, supplies, travel, and any other expenses attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities. These are actual amounts expended, not budgeted or estimated amounts, and spans from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

Analysis:

Florida State spent more on football in the 2018-19 season than NC State, UNC and Wake Forest combined. In fact, if you toss in Duke and Virginia you still haven't equaled the spending of the two Florida schools, FSU and Miami. That's a problem when you consider that the North Carolina schools have more voting power than the Florida schools!

Also, while Pitt and UNC both decreased their football spending a little from 2016-17 to 2017-18, no ACC spent less in 2018-19 than it did in 2017-18. The smallest increase was Boston College (up $1.4 M), while the biggest jump was Miami (up $19 million!). Louisville football spending also saw a big 2-year increase, up $18.9 million.
