"So what does this mean for FSU, and since the ACC splits the money evenly, are the Noles propping up other programs or vice versa?

Last year's tourney was the best in ACC history. The ACC played in 21 eligible games, which is remarkable, considering the previous year saw only nine games. Already in 2016 the ACC is guaranteed to play in at least 13, so times are good.

Regardless, here's how that distribution looked after last year. Each unit from this year's tournament is worth $265,791, though past units are not worth quite as much. For simplicity, we'll average them out and assign each unit (game played) with a value of $258,000.

	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015	Total	Value
Duke	5	3	1	4	1	5	19	$4,902,000
North Carolina		4	4	2	2	3	15	$3,870,000
NC State			3	1	1	3	8	$2,064,000
Florida State	1	3	2				6	$1,548,000
Virginia			1		3	2	6	$1,548,000
Notre Dame						4	4	$1,032,000
Louisville						4	4	$1,032,000
Clemson	1	2					3	$774,000
Miami				3			3	$774,000
Maryland	2						2	$516,000
Wake Forest	2						2	$516,000
Georgia Tech	2						2	$516,000
Syracuse					2		2	$516,000
Boston College							0	$0
Virginia Tech							0	$0
Pittsburgh							0	$0
	13	12	11	10	9	21	76	$19,608,000

So last year's conference distribution was $19,608,000, or $1,307,200 per team. FSU had brought in $1,548,000 over the six-year window, and thus was slightly subsidizing ACC teams, though not nearly to the tune of North Carolina or Duke. Eleven teams all brought in less than they received."
