Most cost estimates I have seen have it at $3-$5 million.
But let's say it's $10. That would be the ACC at $42 million a year.
SEC with expansion and new contract is going somewhere from $45 million to roughly $80 million.
B1G has new contract coming to go from $54 million to roughly $75 Million
PAC 12 is irrelevant but have a new contract coming that will push them higher also.
Being $30-$40 million behind the P2 is not good enough to save the ACC. Simple as that.
Being unable to fill your own stadium past 80% capacity is not good enough to save FSU.
Regardless of what FSU's capacity is or isn't......ACC won't survive with that revenue gap. Your post, like much of the ACC's position's and actions, refuse to address the actual issues and lashes out emotionally.....but truly serves no purpose.
A lot of FSU fans here seek to blame the ACC for FSU's failures.
Here is your attendance over the last decade:
2010 - 86%
2011 - 93%
2012 - 91%
2013 - 91 %
2014 - 99 %
2015 - 88%
2016 - 97% (You reduced capacity 4K seats)
2017 - 90 %
2018 - 86 %
2019 - 69%
You have averaged 11% under capacity the last decade - that's 610K fans.
The fact of the matter is you overbuilt Doak to the tune of about 10% and you can only fill those seats when FSU is spectacular and the opponent is an equally spectacular, Oklahoma, Miami, Florida, or Clemson.
Let's not forget what the ACC gave up inviting you to join back in 1990 when you were at your peak. Your entry into the league cut off Clemson, UVa, NC State, UNC, and GT at a time when multiples of each school were ranked in the top 15. The one extra loss prevented these other schools from appearances in the Orange Bowl, or playing for the National Title. FSU didn't save the ACC, FSU stunted the ACC as it was on the precipice of finally fully recovering from the 800 SAT rule.
It's tiresome to hear FSU fans whine.
