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 [URL='https://247sports.com/Article/Florida-State-staying-in-ACC-new-revenue-distribution-model-210347859/']247Sports[/URL], 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 [I][URL='https://richmond.com/sports/college/teel-acc-reports-record-revenue-and-distributions-for-2021-22/article_779a5232-f66a-11ed-93b3-0f141c04f72d.html']Richmond Times-Dispatch[/URL]. [/I] For the 2022-23 season, a school [URL='https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2017/9/20/revenue-distribution.aspx']earned $6 million[/URL] 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.
