Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 5088018, member: 3609"] That's correct. The portion of the TV money paid for basketball is a smaller part of the overall ACC contract with ESPN/Raycom than the football and any money any team making the NCAA tournament ("the shares") goes into the conference pot like bowl money does. The greater the number of teams that become consistent winners in b-ball, the greater the payout, but not a whole lot greater. If you subtract Notre Dame's ACC payout from the ACC payout each of the other schools got, you get an idea of what football is worth. The bulk of ND's payout is going to be for b-ball, with some small portion of their payout being for the non-revenue sports. [/QUOTE]
