You can make a pretty good argument that FSU would make $10 million more pr year in the B12. The TV $ for B12 is said to be $19 million. With increased inventory and bigger matchups you would think that number would go up. Then there is the CCG increase to the contract. Plus FSU having the ability to sell at least 2 cupcake games to regional TV. On top of that would be the playoff money.
 
IMO the BCS going away really hurts the ACC. Before the were getting $20 million a year. Now how much will they get? Lets say the conference champ makes the playoffs if you are in the Top 6 system is put into place. And lets say that for every playoff team a conf gets $25 million (which likely will be much higher). Well if FSU is in the B12 then they likely get $2 million a year from playoff money. While if they stay in the ACC that number would be likely be $500k a year.
 
Adding that all up IMO it would be close to $10 million more per year for FIFTEEN years. That is a lot to give up on. If Swofford had gotten the $21 million he wanted then that number would only be $5 million and not enough for FSU to move. I am really surprised that ESPN low balled the ACC and didn't protect their investment.
