[QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 291569, member: 302"]
A try at defining the $19 million or more...the contract that hopefully will be "looked into" prior to year five does include some tier 3 rights. However, the ACC schools still have 3 tier rights to other items such as coaches shows, some other games not in bball and football. It is estimated that 'Cuse makes as much as $2 million to $4 million on these shows (this it keeps for itself and not shared).
The comparisons with TV contracts do not take into consideration of this and are not necessarily apples to apples wherein the continued conversation.
Perhaps what is amazing is that less than 5 years ago the ACC per team TV dollars were around
$8million--a very significant raise in a short period of time.
 
I am beginning to think that the brain waves of teams like FSU/Clemson etc are really fried...expectations of so much more dollars coming in that they are losing perspective. Although football and basketball teams may be profitable playing in Iowa and Kansas, how do you send a women's lax team or swim team or other olympic sports to these "far away places" with fewer alumni going to watch...it will be lonely out there!
