RE: ACC 2026 Revenue Conference Distribution PROJECTION???
I would guestimate a 5% incentive program where 5% of the total revenue goes into the incentives.
Lets use $700 M as the base. Five percent is $35 million. 80% football and 20% basketball gets you $28 and $7 M. You can pay the ACC football champ 50%, the title game loser 25% and the 3rd and 4th schools 12.5% of that 28 M.
Here's what I get with something like that over the last 6 full playing seasons - Football then Basketball incentive:
FB 59.5 M Clemson, Pitt and FSU 17.5 M, NC State 14 M, UNC and Miami 10.5 M, ND, WF, UVa, and Louisville 7 M.
BB 10.5 M Duke, 8.75 M UVa, 7 M FSU, 5.25 M UNC, 4.375 M VT, 3.5 M GT, 1.75 M Miami, .875 M Louisville and ND
Total of both:
Clemson 59.5 M, FSU 24.5 M, Pitt 17.5 M, UVa 15.75, UNC 15.25 M, NC State 14.0 M, Miami 11.75 M, Duke 10.5 M, Louis, ND, and VT 7.85 M, WF and GT 7 M, Syracuse 3.5 M, BC - 0 M
With the amount of 35 M and looking at 6 years, the break even is 14M if the money had been equally split over the 6 years.
In this scenario using our last 6 full years, Clemson would have made an extra 45.5 M (59.5-14= 45.5M)
FSU would have netted 10.5 M
Pitt would have netted 3.5 M
UVa would have netted 1.75
UNC would have netted 1.25
NC State breaks even.
The loss is substantial to BC and Syracuse. The loss to GT, VT, and Louisville is about $1 million per year.
This is close to what I expect. Real football excellence gets rewarded. Excellence in basketball keeps you from getting killed for bad football.
The ACC might put more money into the pot, I don't know.
