"New 15 year..." article by Teel, who by the way is a significantly good and connected ACC sports analyst, indicates that the $$$ increase for each ACC school is $4.1 million/year vs. old contract that would have ended in 2023.  This new contract drives over $61.5 million more to each present ACC school over life of contract than previous contract...and $17 million a year is darn good.
What is important is that the ACC and ESPN have right to look into contract in year 5 and 10...no doubt to revise upward...and if ACC moves to 16 teams and one in ND...this present payout will be blown away.
The other interesting point is the Friday night football games are BC's and 'Cuse's based on the southeast tradition of High School Football on Friday evenings and should result in very good national exposure for 'Cuse.
 
I believe that this contract is a good one...no it isnt as much as the power football conferences..but is good enough to keep FSU and others in the fold.
