What's this?

I don't think ND going all-in on football would be the boon many believe

ACC would get the ND home contract, valued around $15M. They would get 3 more games, 4 more if we go to a 9 game conference schedule. They would get official merchandise royalties.

Let's say ESPN would pay $40M/year for the home TV rights, merch, and 3-4 more conference games. That's an extra $2.6M per team each year. $3.3M if you're generous and say ESPN goes to $50M. Not chump change but really nothing to close the gap with B1G/SEC.

The ACC had a chance to deliver a gut punch this last year, and caved. -- UEMcGill 07/23/2021 5:52PM

ACC did the right thing this past season. You are not going to force ND -- wwhokie1 07/23/2021 6:28PM
