Message: [QUOTE="Moontan, post: 569877, member: 166"] That's not entirely true. ESPN may pay a few more dollars for the extra basketball games, but it's not going to pay millions extra for football games that it doesn't get to broadcast. In short, it'll likely be a financial wash for the ACC membership until the football games start. I would not expect (per school) revenues to go up until ND starts to uphold its end of the agreement. Similarly, I wouldn't expect ND to be able to tap into the ACC bowl tie-ins until it starts to play the games that would make it eligible for them. ND agreeing to the 5 extra (or 3 extra road) games could alleviate that hurdle. [/QUOTE]
