NCAA or conference payouts, plus media-rights deals negotiated through the schools, made up nearly 26 percent of the revenue generated by the athletics departments at the ACC’s eight public universities during the 2011-12 year, according to revenue and expense reports obtained through public-records requests.
For the first time in five years, that number outpaced the percent of revenue the league’s public schools received from ticket sales (23.4 percent).
Their average payout from the NCAA, ACC and other media-rights deals jumped 35 percent from 2010-11 to 2011-12, from $14.1 million to $19.1 million.
“It’s satellite and cable television. That’s the disruptive force,” said Raymond Sauer, a professor of economics at Clemson and president of the North American Association of Sports Economists. “It’s the penetration of those broadcast technologies into more and more and more and more homes.
“Increasingly, the revenue has shifted in all sports from the gate at the venue to the box in the home.”
[B]The Big Ten, according to projections obtained by Sports Illustrated, expects to be in a position to pay its schools $43 million each by 2017, a figure bolstered largely by an expected TV revenue windfall.[/B]
