[URL='http://winthropintelligence.com/2013/04/01/ncaa-mens-basketball-tournament-this-years-unit-payouts-after/']I believe that this article supports my theory.[/URL]

It shows the NCAA credits earned by the ACC before the latest conference transitions, as well as the annual distribution of those credits over the coming years. The ACC was due to receive 46 of those credits this year. At approximately $245,000 per credit, that comes out to $11,270,000. Divide that by 10 (the number of current ACC schools that were also conference members when those credits were earned) and you get $1,127,000. If you were to add that amount to the payouts of SU, Pitt & Louisville then they'd be more in line with the rest of the conference.

The 2017 payout for those prior credits is 33. Going with the same math as before, this yields:
33 * $245,000 = $8,085,000.
As a result, the differential for those 10 schools will be $808,500.

2018's 21 credits would give those 10 schools a boost of $514,000.

2019's 10 credits would give those 10 schools an extra $245,000.

Note: It's possible that the above payouts are shifted by a year.  Were the "2016 credits" to be paid during the 2015-16 fiscal year, or the 2016-17 fiscal year? If the latter, then the previous math would indicate that this year's differential would be $1,470,000 for those 10 schools due to a distribution of 60 credits.
