That worked out well for the SEC.

It demonstrates that the ACC needs a Cable Channel or Digital Solution to add more revenue. A key number in that article is the distribution to each school.

"The SEC distributed $457.8 million to its 14 members, an average of $32.7 million per school."

Comparing with the ACC, GT released what it received from the ACC in a release earlier. linked

" GTAA's ACC distributions accounted for 41.2% of fiscal 2015 operating revenues and increased over 40% from 2014 to $27.3 million, mainly due to a broadcasting agreement with ESPN and the College Football Playoff structure."

If you assume 14 schools got that and ND 20%, then the ACC distributed $387.66 million during the same time frame. And that is without the most successful cable channel. The ACC needs a channel to fill in that $5 million per school gap. We are behind the SEC, but not astronomically behind.

That $5.4 million gap will just further separate ... -- Old Line Hokie 01/19/2016 9:17PM

Most of the separation is in ticket sales and donations. -- HOO86 01/19/2016 9:25PM

Ticket sales are a moot point, at least in the B1G. -- RappinRodney 01/20/2016 05:13AM

Not even remotely a moot point. It's only a very partial revenue share. -- marcbvtgm 01/20/2016 1:26PM

Looks like I stand corrected. -- RappinRodney 01/21/2016 12:57AM

Fwiw, max was $4M a few yrs ago & avg was something like $2.7M -- marcbvtgm 01/22/2016 1:05PM

The donation level required to buy tickets is not distributed. ** -- HOO86 01/20/2016 12:33PM
