Interesting article - makes you feel sorry for Rutgers in the short run anyway. The "buy-in" period b4 you get full $$ (6 years??) is a shenanigan the Big 12 did to WVU too but for only 3 or 4 years I think. I read somewhere the Big 10 also includes ticket sales as part of conference revenue to jack up their numbers. The ACC does not do that and you guys and Pitt got a full share of $$ from year one. This means the quoted conference revenue numbers are NOT directly comparable! Meanwhile the SEC (which the Big 10 would look down their noses at) is beating the Big 10 in revenue and the ESPN SEC channel is a big factor there. I can only hope the ESPN ACC channel will do something almost as good for us. We take a hit every 3 years when the Orange Bowl is in the CFP but the schools told the conference they wanted whatever was paid in a year as opposed to a 3 year average when asked about this I read. This past year (2016-17) will be a good one with average payouts of about $30 million and next year should be as good or better. When the Orange Bowl is part of the CFP again that will happen in the 1st year of the ACC network which is when the ACC schools will really begin to hit the jackpot.
