Good questions...yours too Bees.  Here are some answers that I believe based on continued conversation is how ACC is approaching:
1.  Bees, difference is that ACC owns rights to  OB...as one of 6 Access bowls the $$$ are expected to be far greater
2.  The 6 Access bowls will all provide increased dollars to participants...and, importantly, could house more than 1 ACC team
3.  ACC champion if in top 4 and Orange Bowl is a semi bowl, that is where ACC team will go
   --second ACC team will have to rank high enough to get in another access bowl
   --If Orange Bowl is not a semi bowl in a year that ACC gets into semis, than a second ACC team goes to the Orange Bowl...and if two ACC teams in top 4 than the third ACC team goes Orange Bowl
4.  ACC owns rights to Orange Bowl even if it is not a semi team...if Orange Bowl is a semi bowl, ACC would have to come up with the revenue split with other teams in the Orange Bowl; but remember, the ACC team will go to one of the other 6 Bowls.
5.  NCAA not sharing in revenue from these ACCess bowls...conferences and schools are
6.  Media consultants believe $500-$600 million will be shared by all schools and conferences...note the Big 5 conferences are looking at least at 55%-65% of payout at this time
   ---no media outlet owns the 6 ACCESS bowls...it will be a bidding process and that is why expectations are so high...
 
Final outcome to be determined...but we all got to love where we are at this point...what a WIN for 'Cuse and the ACC.
