Wake gets a bad rap, but go look up their facilities improvements. Their

big donor McCreary has invested upwards of $100M in Wake football and all sports really facilities. I've come across an article or so commenting Wake facilities may only be second to Clemson! The issue with Wake is their size and nobody really gives a hoot about them outside the state of North Carolina.

Should the ACC change how it distributes football revenue? If so, how?

Regular season money split evenly. Postseason money goes…

As a VT fan I would want out of that conference. We would still be way

Can see some of your points, but not fair to the teams if ESPN chooses not

Wake versus BC at the end of the year in a meaningful game had a viewing
daveinop • 07/09/22 07:17 PM ET
Revenue feeds into all other sports
HokieAl • 07/09/22 04:38 PM ET
That seems to be the beginning of the end for a Conference.
Stech • 07/09/22 04:34 PM ET
MLB works like that. Forced equality = Instability...
jesuisvtguy • 07/09/22 05:43 PM ET
Yeah but the NFL is THE pro sports league in the US and they split evenly**
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/09/22 09:15 PM ET
All of their games are NFL games
daveinop • 07/10/22 08:32 AM ET
Didn't Texas get a bigger cut several years back from the Big12?**

Vippie1 • 07/09/22 04:53 PM ET
3/4 vote**
daveinop • 07/09/22 06:48 PM ET
I don’t want to do either, but of the 2, I would prefer to boot like Temple
Stech • 07/09/22 05:15 PM ET
Have to stay equal distribution. **

I think there should be some hybrid system on the table.
LonghornHokie • 07/09/22 06:56 PM ET
In a perfect world, I agree, but
daveinop • 07/09/22 02:14 PM ET
Its the only way it's sustainable**
133743Hokie • 07/09/22 04:10 PM ET
I think that depends on what you want to sustain
daveinop • 07/09/22 04:29 PM ET
Sustaining a conference where 3/4 of conference gets less and therefore
wwhokie1 • 07/09/22 07:34 PM ET
The nfl proves you should split evenly
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/09/22 09:20 PM ET
And it would work if the entire power 5 split evenly
clemson81nc • 07/10/22 10:02 AM ET
I would add OOC games to those revenue ops.
daveinop • 07/10/22 08:23 AM ET
If you have to do that in the first place, your conference isn't nationally
NokieHokie • 07/09/22 04:48 PM ET
I think something should be done......
2hhoop3 • 07/09/22 12:24 PM ET
Problem is dollars are fungible
clemson81nc • 07/10/22 10:05 AM ET
Seems like mostt in the ACC have upped their FB spending in the last year.

91HokieBob • 07/09/22 02:54 PM ET
Yep, Wake has put forth the effort lately. And was paying off. **
wwhokie1 • 07/09/22 07:45 PM ET
now they need to schedule real teams OOC
daveinop • 07/10/22 08:43 AM ET
I think you meant to say "no one outside of NC Triad gives a hoot" about WF
HboroughHokie • 07/09/22 03:10 PM ET
Maybe...but very rare occasion that I won't watch and pull for Wake when
