Not sure how many people read the daily articles but today there are a couple of links on future ACC revenue numbers worth discussing.

The last public ACC revenue distribution verified through tax returns was for 2014-15, where the average distribution was $26.2 million per school.

It has been verified each school will receive an additional $3M starting in 2017-18, presumably for the change to the conference basketball schedule, where they are going from 18 to 20 conference games.  So that should, coupled with escalating revenue as the contract goes deeper, gets the average distribution in the $30 million range.

Then there are reports that the expected revenue per school for the first year of the ACC Network is $8-10 million per school, with the revenue then growing to $15-20 million per season.

That would give us the following numbers for future revenue distribution for ACC schools:

2017-18 $30 million per school
2018-19 $30 million per school
2019-20 $39 million per school
2020-21 $45 to $50 million per school
...

These are revenue estimates, and not set in stone, but if the numbers are anything close to this, you can see why the university needs to invest in building a new roof that is not subject to catastrophic failure.
