I'll try. Tall order. But to ESPN, they spend the most on the ACC.

The ESPN contract with the ACC is for $3.6 billion. It is significantly higher than ESPN spends on any other Conference. Attached are the numbers. The SEC has gone up slightly since this article, but still less than the ACC.

The Difference is that the B1G and the SEC have another revenue source from their channels, and they divide their shares differently than the ACC with 15 members.

But as a cost to ESPN specifically, the ACC is the most expensive contract they have. Why would they spend the most for it if they don't value it?
