Message: [QUOTE="Don, post: 515284, member: 1846"] let me put it this way, the ACC is paid about 20 million per school for broadcast rights for sports not just football because espn needs content other than football. all the schools athletes may be able to get a part of that revenue under this suit. now imagine your Syracuse who gets this money and has to pay this money and you draw 40 thousand to a football game and your competing against Clemson who draws 75 thousand to football games. the league pays you the same for the espn contract, you have the same amount of atheletes on your football team that have a right to that revenue from the league payout but your take from the gate is half that of a bigger school. that is a huge advantage to bigger schools. thats why the lawsuit based on getting money from live broadcasts and tv contracts is a much bigger deal than just plain stipends [/QUOTE]
