Message: [QUOTE="TerryD, post: 3441362, member: 3399"] ND makes less TV/conference payout money than just about any P5 school. Wake Forest makes as much or more. ND makes about $22 million from NBC, $6.8 million from ESPN/ACC, and a small amount from NBC Sports for home hockey games. That is about $30 million, total. Most ACC schools make that much or more. At best, it is a wash. So, there is no monetary "concession" for ND to make here. Nothing to share. For comparison, Purdue as a Big Ten member makes about $35 million a year more from TV/conference payouts than ND does. If forced into a football conference against its will by a Covid related ultimatum, ND would do much better to consider the Big Ten and make an extra $35 million a year doing it (while holding its nose). For that amount between now and 2036, it may be worth challenging a GOR that doesn't cover ND football anyway. How much is $35 million x 16 years? [/QUOTE]
