ACC with 3rd highest

[SyracuseMiami]

Payout for 2011-12 fiscal year. The upcoming rights deals change things a bit but interesting that the ACC is starting from a higher payout than the B12 and PAC12. We just need the ACC to keep progressing what it's working on and we'll have a bright future with our new conference. Interesting read:

Good find - as a conference we're in good shape. We just need to produce on the field and become a perennial top 25 team again

Swofford is apparently underpaid.

And it should go up from there next year.

Someone should post this on WVU's board and see what kind of reaction it gets.

Actually someone should remind WVU that football didn't start in 2004. From 1987-2003 which is 17 years they finished in the top 25, 4 times 2 times in top 10. Teams in the ACC by 2014, and teams that are in the SEC that were better. Florida St 17-14, Miami 16-11, Notre Dame 12-5, Syracuse 9-2, Virginia Tech 8-3, Clemson 8-2, Georgia Tech 6-2, Virginia 6-0. SEC Tennessee 14-8, Florida 13-10, Auburn 11-5, Georgia 11-4, Texas A&M 11-4, Alabama 10-5, LSU 7-3, Mississippi 5-0. History repeats and WYU will end up back where they usually are.

Will this allow Gross to avoid future deals with the Meadowlands?

That is, will the substantial increase in revenue allow the Orange to keep its entire home schedule in the Dome?
