Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4318956, member: 622"] The operarive phrase there is "total conference revenue". The B1G keeps floating numbers and 3veryone assumes the TV rights are the total payout. However, the total payout includes all revenues (bowl games, Hoops tourney, and most importantly when considering B1G revenue, half the gate revue of all home games. The B1G shares half the gate revenue so it goes into the pot, then gets slip and boosts the shares. This is one reason the SEC doesn't mind being in 2nd place, the math is not always the same, all SEC teams keep their own gate revenue, it does not get added to the conference payout. The better barometer for measuring the ACC deal is the SEC deal as it is the most similar. The ACC still has a ways to go. [/QUOTE]
