Add the 6 Pac schools. If the reports are accurate the new Pac deal payouts are between $20-24M, then that's crap for them. May have to do some convincing to UW and Oregon to sign the GOR. But Cal, Stanford, OreSt and Wazzu will sign. Those 6 schools may increase the payout for the ACC? I think you would 100% have to go to 9 games. That additional game maybe gets a streaming deal. CBS and NBC are each giving the B1G $350M for basically 1 additional game per week plus an extra game or 2. (15-16). Not saying ACC will get that, but just additional 2 games per week should bring in some nice revenue of maybe $250-300M.

So it's 20+ND. I seriously think you throw an invite to the service academies. Navy and Army are huge brand and Air force helps get an additional team out West. You immediately get the Army-Navy game (7M viewers) and the Commander in Chief Trophy. You keep ND happy with Stanford and Navy within their realm of influence. They bring in about total 2.0M viewers per week between the 3 of them. Not sure who that 4th would be. Uconn? Memphis? USF? Ehh. Do you ask Utah to have 8 Western teams? Hmm. I like that.

So you're at 24 with 3-8 team divisions. Maybe you start the season a week early. And do conference semis and finals!! That's 219 total conference games. DOUBLE the current 113 games played (including ACC CG).

So if the ACC can at a minimum gets the same $40-50 range for each team with the additional content, revenue and teams to distribute to, plus a streaming deal for $300M - That's an extra $12.5M per year for $50-62.5M

That puts you in the solid 3rd and competitive with the Top 2.
