Raycom pays $50 million annually to ESPN; ACC schools see zero!
The problem with the current ESPN & ACC deal is that Commish packaged all of the T3 TV rights with T1 & 2 TV rights. Basically, ESPN owns them all. Unlike the new BIG deal that is split between FOX/ESPN and then CBS SPORTS Network (basketball only), ESPN owns them all!

Many ACC fans don’t understand that the 26M avg they’re getting for 2014-15 tax return doesn’t compare directly to other conf.. The ACC TV Money is set while the BIG12(or other P5 Conf) avg TV money must be added to TV T3 rights to get the true dollar amount (23.3M+T3 TV rights.) ACC conference members did retain their non-televised third tier media rights.

How much is Tier 3 rights worth?? CBS SPORTS NETWORK just paid 10M annually to the BIG just for left over Basketball games, FOX and ESPN also get Basketball games and then the rest go to CBS SPORTS NETWORK... Furthermore Raycom pays $50 million annually in a sublicense agreement with ESPN for 31 live football games and 60 live men’s basketball games; ACC schools see none of that money. Raycom sublicensed 17 of those football games and 25 of those basketball games to Fox, which carries the games on its regional sports networks and again the ACC schools do not see any of that money!!

This can all be forgiven if ESPN launches an ACC Network as we were told! Ready for the announcement!
