ACC Revenue Sharing Model (winners get more $$$)

[OrangeXtreme]

The Atlantic Coast Conference Board of Directors today announced that it has endorsed a success incentive initiative that will begin during the 2024-25 academic year. The decision follows analysis and discussions that have occurred throughout the past year.

The specifics of the plan are in progress and will be solidified in the coming months. Under this initiative, the implementation of the success incentives will come solely from the performance of teams in revenue generating postseason competition. All other revenues will continue to be equally shared as currently outlined.

ACC amends revenue distribution model, incentivizing postseason success for money-making sports

Top ACC schools have been exploring pathways to compete with future SEC and Big Ten revenue

The ACC has announced an amended revenue model that will reward high-achieving programs with additional monetary gains in an attempt to catch ballooning conference distributions in the Big Ten and SEC in coming years. Plans for the new model, which is set to start during the 2024-25 academic year, haven't been finalized, but the "success incentives" are expected to reward schools with postseason success with a far larger piece of distribution.

Under one proposed model by Florida State athletic director Michael Alford to 247Sports, high-achieving ACC schools could potentially receive more than $10 million in addition revenue, a hefty increase from the $39.4 million distributed by the league in 2021-22, according to records obtained by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

For the 2022-23 season, a school earned $6 million for its conference with a College Football Playoff berth; a selection to a non-playoff New Year's Six bowl pays out $4 million. In total, the CFP paid out up to a base amount of nearly $80 million per Power Five conference as long as member institutions reached academic expectations. Under a different model, more of this payout could go to top schools. Clemson, for example, would have been the top beneficiary of this change in 2022 after earning a trip to the Orange Bowl.

Won’t this result in even less parity? Can’t see how that will be a good thing, nor can I see where disproportionate revenue has ever successfully worked in a conference.

Smart move like relegation in soccer. The P5 conferences should do the same don't think NW or Rutgers in the Big deserves full share.

As long as the conference imposes uniform requirements on all member schools for things like admission standards...
