A) ACC is behind WELL over $10 million to it's competitors (something that many claimed would never happen).
B) We are less than 1 year away from finding out if the ACC Network will actually produce revenue and save the ACC like has been claimed.
C) The Big 10 is about to grow that revenue gap even larger with new contracts to a total of over $50 Million per team.
The ACC has GOT to get that $24 Million per team to $40 million per team to just close the gap from insane to just huge.
FSU fans have ignored this issue, but just got a taste of reality with Texas A&M just throwing money around. This is going to get worse, not better, unless the ACC Network actually produces $15 million per team like it has been claimed.
Just 11 months away. We find out who was right. I hope to god I have been wrong on this.

The ACC conference's average distribution to its 14 full-member schools fell 9.2 percent, to $23.8 million from $26.2 million
Southeastern Conference: $639 million revenue, 88.6 percent distributed to schools, average $40.42 million per member.
Pac-12: $488 million revenue, 70.5 percent distributed, average $28.7 million per school.
Big 12: $313.2 million revenue, 90.9 percent distributed, average $28.49 million per school.
Commissioner John Swofford believes the 2019 launch of the linear ACC Network will close the disparity.
“That’s why we’re doing the channel,” he told the Raleigh News & Observer's Andrew Carter at the league's spring meetings in Florida on Thursday. “We fully expect a gap with particularly the Big Ten and the SEC here for a couple of years. But that’s the very reason we signed to do what we’re doing.
“And we fully expect that that gap will narrow considerably when we get the channel up and running.”
If anything, it’s impressive that the ACC is at least able to remain within shouting distance of the SEC and Big 10 without a full-fledged network at their disposal. When that changes in 2019, the ACC will expect to get much closer.
Just how close? Florida State University AD Stan Wilcox says the schools in the conference are anticipating the network could deliver up to $10 million dollars in its first year of existence and up to $15 million afterwards.
Via Noles 24/7:
Florida State athletics director Stan Wilcox said the ACC’s revised television deal will deliver an increased payout of $3 million in the 2017-18 fiscal year.Now, of course the Big 10 and SEC will likely continue to see increases of their own, but it remains to be seen if it’s possible for the ACC to draw even or surpass either of the two major power conferences in the Power 5. The timing couldn’t be better for the ACC to build momentum ahead of the launch of their conference network in two years as the balance of power in college football might be shifting in their direction. With the Heisman Trophy winner and the National Champions in the ACC, they have as good a claim as anyone for being the best conference in college football right now.
Wilcox was asked about ACC television distributions at an FSU Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday morning. A boost was expected with the July 2016 announcement of the ACC Network Extra by league commissioner John Swofford
Revenues will jump once the “linear” ACC Network launches in the fall of 2019. Wilcox said the ACC’s projections have indicated that the distribution per school will increase by $8 million-$10 million in 2019-20, and then $10 million-$15 million in future years.
“These are all projections,” Wilcox said. “It all depends on how well the network does. They are saying this network should have the same kind of return that the SEC Network has had in their first couple of years.”
If they can continue that good form for 2017 and 2018 it’ll definitely give the new network a pop in 2019 and lead to even more revenue for the schools. And in the end, that’s what it’s all about when it comes to the competition amongst the conference networks.

Big 12 announces record revenue distribution of $34.8 million per school
The Big 12 distribution is up from $30.4 million per school last year and $25.2 million the year before.
The Pac-12’s tax returns released in May and reported by the San Jose Mercury News showed that conference paid its members $28.7 million apiece for the 2016 fiscal year and projects $29.5 million for this year.
Two weeks ago, USA Today, using federal tax return information, reported the following per-school distributions for fiscal year 2016:
— SEC payouts ranged from $41.9 million to $39.1 million.
— The Big Ten paid $34.8 million to all except recent additions Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers.
— The Pac-12 payouts were $28.7 million per school.
— The ACC payouts ranged from $27.9 million to $22.6 million.
Asked what the near $35 million payouts mean for the Big 12’s security and future, Schovanec said, “We obviously like it. At the same time, we all acknowledge it’s hard to say how things are going to shake out in 2025 or when the Big Ten starts to renegotiate their contract, but financially the Big 12 is in a good situation, especially when you compare us to the ACC or the Pac-12. It’s obviously a strong positive.

May 24, 2017
Back in April, it was reported that the Big 12 hauled in $313 million in revenue over the previous fiscal year, up $40 million from the year before. For Big 12 members, that meant a payout of $28.9 million per school.
The Pac-12 reportedly payed out $28.7 million to each member
For the ACC, the news is even worse. The Atlantic Coast Conference is one of the hottest conferences in college football after Clemson won the 2017 National Title, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at their pocketbook. It was reported last week that the ACC paid out just $23.8 million per member the previous fiscal year, which is a decline from the year before. The ACC will likely see those numbers jump next year as CFB Playoff money rolls in and the ACC Network gets off the ground, but still, that’s a lot of ground to make up. Not to mention, a conference network is no guarantee of a big pay day, just look at the state of the Pac-12.

►The Pac-12’s per-school shares were about $25.1 million.
►The Big 12’s were around $23.4 million, except for West Virginia and TCU, which each got a little more than $20 million.

Which Power Five Conference Has Most U.S. Fans?
According to a 2015 study on the Sports Business Research Network (SBRnet), the Big 10 had the highest percentage of people who chose a team in the conference as their favorite. The study asked U.S. fans to choose their favorite football team and lists the teams in order of the percentage of people who chose that team as their favorite. Ohio State ranks first with 5.8 percent of Americans ranking the team as their favorite team with fellow Big 10 member Penn State in second with 4.3 percent. All fourteen Big 10 teams combined represented 26.8 percent of America’s favorite teams with the fourteen SEC and ACC teams representing 18.9 and 15.2 percent, respectively. The ten teams in the Big 12 and twelve teams in the Pac-12 represent 9.1 and 14.1 percent, respectively. Measuring the dominance of these five conferences based on U.S. fandom, it would seem that the Big 10 has a significant advantage compared to the other four power conferences. The chart below demonstrates these statistics.
