ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

Let's make it 32.

The playoffs can continue past the Super Bowl.

Why not match the hoops tournament and go to 64 or 68?
It just doubles the length of the overall season. $20.5M will need to bump up to $40M.

What do people think are the private school rankings among ACC member schools estimated athletics budgets? I’m assuming Notre Dame is 1, Stanford is 4, Miami is 6, Duke is 7, Syracuse is 15 (sad), then BC, SMU and Wake?

Why do you assume Syracuse is #15? Do we have any information on that? The question I have had and raised it in the Basketball Forum regarding a discussion of the breakeven point for basketball game attendence, is how does Syracuse account for the costs of the Dome? I would think that fully including the cost of the new renovations, even on a pro rata basis, would inflate SU's stated budget.

It says operating budget estimates not athletic operating budget estimates.

But it says "ACC" Operating Budget Estimates. That implies athletic operating budgets. What else would it be?

The ACC conference? It could be just for athletics but I was surprised it didn’t say it.

If you look in the lower right hand corner of the slide it says: "Virginia Tech Athletics Budget and Resources: Peer Analysis". That's likely the title to the deck of slides of which this is one. And this one is to compare VT's athletics budget to those of the other ACC schools.

They could do something where they play some games against others that lost or were knocked out early.

That’s why I put it out to the board. Because I’m not sure. But I would guess that Stanford (who spends a lot on Olympic sports), Duke and Miami would be higher than Cuse, but I’m not sure about the latter two.

You can read all the slides on the Twitter thread. There’s a whole interesting discussion and window into where we rank based on info that leaked from a VT internal presentation. The TV ratings for Cuse men’s basketball were very encouraging. We mostly finished 4th or 5th over the past 8-10 years, and that was during our downturn.

Do you have a link or other info where to find the Twitter thread, or did I miss it? Thanks.

I think Stanford is #1 due to all their NCAA and non-NCAA sports and ND is #4. I think Duke is #6 and Miami #7 because Miami sponsors fewer sports than Duke but puts up a lot of money for football, basketball, and baseball. SMU is at the bottom because they sponsor the fewest sports.

Say each conference has 10 teams eliminated from the playoffs after an 8 game season: Use the next 3 weeks as conference vs conference challenges, rotating thru each matchup (ACC vs B1G/SEC/B12, etc.). Might also be able to make games between the losers of the first couple of rounds so everyone gets 11 games. I suppose you could also create bowl games using those teams along with the left out conferences, if the bowl names won't be co-opted into the playoff structure.

It would be a logistical nightmare to set up and not sure if the cost/revenue would justify it.
