Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 697925, member: 302"] Interestingly, past discussions and points of view seem to be moving toward reality. This will not discuss the ACC Channel/network--more on that coming soon; but rather bringing more and more information leading to reality of ACC conference revenue share and potential bball in NYC. Recent Swofford interview by David Teel--one of best sources of ACC information a day ago--brought to light several important concepts we have discussed previously: 1. Football Revenue Share: Remember we discussed that something had to be done to make sure the Teams in ACC remained in the conference and that their competitive level vs. other conferences remained high. Our discussion was about keeping equal shares but doing so in a manner that would provide additional $$$ to those teams going to bowls etc. Well here is where the ACC appears to be netting out: Whereas ACC Conference will continue to "equally share" dollars from bowls; that equal share will be the resulting pie after: [LIST] [*][B]Significant dollars will come out of pot first[/B] for those teams that make it to the ACC Championship game as well as College Playoff Games [*]Designating initial dollars coming out of the Bowl monies for teams that are going to the bowls such that [B]more dollars being given for travel, expenses, and a bonus prior[/B] to sharing the remaining dollars equally to all schools [*]And as for Notre Dame being a leach...how about this: [B]does not receive any of the College Playoff monies and does not even receive its 1/15 share of bowl monies if it qualifies for the 6 team playoff[/B]--so Notre Dame isn't taking from the overall pot during its most successful seasons...but is contributing when it doesnt make the 6 team playoff but goes to another bowl...it shares in step with points above. [/LIST] [B]The ACC is moving to equal revenue share AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL TEAMS receive dollars that will exceed the shares of all other teams. So for example, Wake Forest will receive an equal share to any team that does not go to a bowl game; but significantly less than teams that do[/B]. [B]Have on good word[/B] that this will c[B]arry over[/B] [B]for BBall and other sports teams as well[/B]...thus if you are not one of the best in conference for football or bball, your team can still generate additional dollars from being best in baseball, Lax etc. [B]Now for BBall and NYC[/B]: Word is and indicated in interview that NYC will house the ACC tournament sometime in the future and for multiple years. As indicated previously in our discussions, we indicated 2016 as being the target year. This remains the case. In fact, this October we should get a good handle as to where, when, and how long this is being contracted for-MSG and Brooklyn are the key venues. [B]And finally for this update[/B]: Listen to what the Pac 12 and B1G Commissioners say in their discussions on the NCAA--there are significant changes coming and Swofford gave it a time frame: August -January for things to come together...it is already broken apart. Significantly, the dollar value of what is about to take place makes much in corporate America look puny...as some have said '[B]Make it Rain' and the downpour of dollars is going to exceed all expectations.[/B] Here is the Teel Interview in full--so far our "stealth" side discussions have proven accurate. Maybe we should charge more for the pay side (Jack & Coke Mist).
