Is that really true though?  What was our travel expense compared to a home game?  If we scheduled a home game against Buffalo, how much would we have made?   And then there is the issue of network assignments.  The better your record, the more likely to be assigned a higher tier of network, which impacts brand/revenue.

Getting relegated to the distant channels hurts viewership, which directly impacts ACC revenue.  In fairness, the TN game might give us more viewers than if we hosted East Tennessee Tech and won.  So we might have backdoored some extra revenue from this game.

Record: 6-15.  Edit: Half of those wins were by NFL drafted-QBs in McNabb and Nassib.  One more for Graves, one of the best Syracuse QBs ever.  The other two were by Schrader (with help from Sean Tucker) and RJ Anderson (helped by Walter Reyes and Johnny Morant in 3OT win).

Other Games: 14-0.
