Thank you for providing actual numbers and bringing sanity to this board. I don’t understand the obsession by fans of other conferences to drag the ACC into every other unrelated thread.

The values have been reported for 2020-2021. The ACC range was 34.9m (ND) to 38.1m (Clem). Big XII was 34.7m-36.5m. This was the COVID year and the numbers were outliers for most of the conferences, so it is hard to use them to project future numbers.

I don't really like getting into all the numbers right now, because there are no actual numbers... There are too many questions about money distribution in the future to really make solid projections. We are waiting on full ACC Network numbers and Playoff Structure that will change the distribution amounts, and more details could come out of the Big 12 contract as well when everything is officially official. Until then, we can look and see that 3 conferences are going to be close in Total Distributions, and will not be close to the P2. Who is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd does not matter, because they are all at a severe disadvantage monetarily until they join the SEC or B1G. More important issues in the future is who will go to the P2 who is not, which conference has the best exposure, and what conference is the most stable.

This is also assuming the ACC does not change their revenue model. They are currently looking into unequal revenue sharing to appease their better brands.

That’s all smoke and mirrors, there will be no appeasement that could work past 2036, and before 2036 there’s no reason to appease anybody. The people who ultimately make the realignment decisions at ACC schools probably don’t even work there right now.

Yeah, I agree, but I thought ND affiliation to the ACC was smoke and mirrors at the time as well. I don't think it will happen, but how desperate are the "lower value members" to keep FSU/Clemson/UNC? If the P2 money gap is still there, P2 status will be hard to turn down.

Looking at how well the left behind schools in other P conferences have fared, I’d say “not desperate at all”. If anyone should be desperate it’s FSU, what’s going to happen to them if they continue their poor form while their ACC rivals improve steadily over the next decade?
