The TV contract base is an average of $20 million a year over 14 years. A curiosity about the numbers is that they match the actual calendar year in regards to the TV millions. With $20 million just on TV in 2020. That before any "bumps" regarding a network or the look-ins that in 2017 and 2022. The B10 is putting 12% more content out with it's TV bid in 2017 than the ACC due to the difference in conference games. Barron told FSU folks a year ago that if there is no network ESPN would put in an additional $2 million per year.

Based on all sources of revenue, the ACC would be at $24.5 in 14/15, $35 or so million at the midpoint in 2020, and at $47 or so million at the end in 2027 - that's with no look in's and no ACC network that generates more than $2 million a year. After 2018 the ACC would be running at about 80% of B10 money. If 9 conference games comes about in return for a 10% bump to TV, that disparity closes to about 83%.

I've always heard 85% as the magic ratio of ACC to B10 money meaning that ESPN will do what it needs to in order to keep the ACC at 85% or better of the B10.
