In [URL='http://winthropintelligence.com/2013/04/01/ncaa-mens-basketball-tournament-this-years-unit-payouts-after/']this article[/URL] you will find the following chart from 18 months ago:

You may claim that's not a lot of money, but others (with thin operating margins) might disagree.

For the other ACC members to give SU, Pitt & ND a full (hoops) share, it would mean that they'd essentially have to donate $ to their new partners.  Duke and UNC add up to $6M/yr (or $400k/school/year).  Sure, not a huge amount (guessing: $800K/school/year total) in the grand scheme of things and offset by the football contract, but it's still money.  When most schools claim to be losing money on athletics (I pay a $127 "athletics fee" at my son's ACC school each semester) it seems odd to simply be giving it away.

The ACC may have paid everyone equally, and that would be honorable, but it's not what I would expect... hence I'm skeptical.
To be clear, I would expect all NCAA credits earned by ACC members prior to the 2013-14 season to be split among the schools that were members at that time (other than UMD).
