Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 446422, member: 302"] Hello everyone...isn't this fun running numbers so lets start with what we know: 1. [B]Just announced that beginning in 2014 the ACC as one of the Top 5 conferences is going to receive an equal share of $91,000,000 for the conference...divide by 14 and we have $6,500,000 per ACC team...[/B] --now the other conferences less regarded conferences are going to share $17,000,000+...glad 'Cuse ACC 2. Be careful with math and Notre Dame as the home team --ACC gets 3 games and Notre Dame gets 2 games and then it changes to Notre Dame 3 games and ACC two games --as previously discussed in earlier threads think of this [B]as $1,500,000 additional per ACC team a year...over the $17,100,000 already negotiated...[/B] --negotiations with ACC presently include point 2 as well as other potential dollar increases for 'Cuse, Pitt, and Louisville as [B]well as a look at "eyeballs" which we discussed in another thread...ACC is third most watch conference games...so this too should result in an increase[/B] 3. [B]ACC further negotiating with ESPN on potential ACC network.[/B]..this will lead to an increase of dollars for third tier rights as well as ACC network revenue for other sports and information content...[B]source has indicated this is moving forward[/B] 4. ACC is looking into football bowl compensation as well as NCAA March Madness compensation [B]being shared but providing additional dollars off the top to those teams performing--previously discussed thread[/B]... 5. Talks have been initiated with Madison Square Garden as well as other venues in North to discuss BBall tournament at least on rotation basis if not permanent...[B]just opened again recently per source[/B] I believe from what I am told, the Maryland exit fee must be held close to the $50,000,000...a negotiated sum a bit less is acceptable. Additionally, per source, the GOR is not dead...but we must understand that its legal winnability may/may not be as strong as some like the Dude WVU thinks. However, ESPN is looking for something from the ACC to show cohesion--no one leaving any time soon at least for 5 years to the look-in...ACC is also working on this. The next several weeks and month are going to be a roller coaster ride...the ACC is doing everything to remain strong and united...after all, how much dollars are needed to be secure...if all this is a $$$ race than the B1G and SEC are going to carry the day. I hope this helps...understand should have more within a week or so to pass on...keep the faith and GOOOO 'Cuse! [/QUOTE]
