[QUOTE="kcsu, post: 5335465, member: 528"]
We don't know what the actual terms are. My take based on the limited information available is that teams will all get a base payout which is equal. Merit compensation i believe will be based on three things. Wins, Post season, and TV ratings.  My point was that in giving Clemson and FSU extra ND games they are in essence guaranteeing them good ratings which would increase their compensation.  I don't know if the increase in ratings which obviously generates additional advertising revenue for both ESPN and the ACCN/League is shared equally by all members or not. My assumption is that it will increase all members distribution but will disproportionally pay Clemson and FSU an extra amount because they are the schools that will have competed in the games that drove the viewership.  Again, all speculation on my part. However, if this is true it isn't hurting Syracuse and the other schools. It is actually helping them. Just that it is helping the teams that drive the viewership more.  So, in essence it stays in line with a merit-based distribution plan.
