Yeah, the ACC has a network but ESPN is only paying $17 million for ESPN.   ACC probably gets another $12 million from the ACCN which will grow upwards with Comcast on board.

The Big 12 existing media deal is $28 million from ESPN/Fox.  The difference is the Big 12 received about $14.6 million in championship games, bowls, and NCAA basketball shares.  The Big 12 only had to split with 10 teams.   Plus, the Big 12 has been the best college basketball conference with the highest NCAA basketball payouts.  Thus, that is why the Big 12 has been $3-$4 million+ ahead of the ACC for years.

Going forward, the ACC will receive more money from the ACCN.  But the Big 12's new media deal, even without Oklahoma and Texas, is an increase to $31.6 million each.  The conference will have more mouths to feed at 12 schools so the post season will be less.  I would say the post season football payout will be less with 2 large brands leaving but UT has been a joke for years and OU was a joke last season.

Thus, I see it being close going forward in total payout for the ACC and Big 12.  But the Big 12 rights comes up in 2031 so they will get another boost then.
