They’re not paying by the win, paying by the viewer.

You do have a point though, there is just NO WAY the B1G and SEC are worth SO much more than these other leagues. I think a real outlier here is just how under paid the ACC is. You can’t tell me the ACC brings only 1/3 of the eyes to the TV as the B1G from September to March. It’s much more competitive than THAT. Even though the ACC has done all it could to provide the worst conference football matchups possible, the gap still shouldn’t be that much. And as a couple points of reference, the Heavily ACC Final Four drew quite similar ratings as the College Football Playoffs. That last home game of Coach K had nearly as many viewers as the Bama versus Georgia championship. Basketball matters and the ACC is the top brand. You put us on similar financial footing and I bet the ACC will be more competitive with football. You know FSU, Miami, and Clemson would flourish with B1G and SEC money. I think VT would come back strong too, if we had an extra 30-50 million dollars a year to work with.

Post: #1NBC Pushing for Big Ten/NFL Primetime Pairing in Media Rights Deal

Meanwhile, have you seen the video of the new ACC commish at ACC Media Day

Page doesn’t exist anymore
hokieZ71 • 08/04/22 07:16 AM ET
So this is the rumor flavor......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/22 06:46 AM ET
Think so. $1.25B is $78 per school among 16 schools
hokieZ71 • 08/04/22 07:24 AM ET
The $100M is total payout, not just tv. **
Colonel Jessup • 08/04/22 02:22 PM ET
They aren’t getting the $1.6B deal they need for $100M/school
hokieZ71 • 08/04/22 07:13 AM ET
Big Ten - The “NFL of college football conferences.”
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/22 12:16 AM ET
They don't need to understand football fans
HokieAl • 08/04/22 08:51 AM ET
ND hasn't made a single move since 2012
TerryD • 08/04/22 08:40 AM ET
Notre Dame football has by far the biggest ego in college sports.
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/22 11:00 AM ET
That's not ego, it's just good business
HokieAl • 08/04/22 11:14 AM ET
Ego’s that idiot/crook Swofford destroying the BE then trying to steal PSU.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/04/22 04:03 PM ET
Notre Dame has their own network deal. No different than Texas....
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/22 02:05 PM ET
You'll have to accept some posters are just mad right now
hokieZ71 • 08/04/22 10:13 AM ET
I want things to stay exactly as they were in 2013
TerryD • 08/04/22 11:32 AM ET
I'm not mad or even upset. It's just football.
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/22 10:50 AM ET
Here's something that TV executives ignore...
ren_hoek • 08/04/22 07:20 AM ET
That is Clemson only, not the ACC
VaTechie • 08/04/22 09:18 AM ET
How has the SEC performed sans Alabama? **
133743Hokie • 08/05/22 04:15 PM ET
With Georgia......
2hhoop3 • 08/05/22 05:22 PM ET
agree, but the B1G only had OSU in the CFP until last year
ren_hoek • 08/04/22 12:14 PM ET
The ACC has been the second most successful CFP conference.
Truthahn • 08/04/22 02:25 PM ET
We need someone who can negotiate a contract. These crooks suck. **
BBBDatVT_ • 08/04/22 04:04 PM ET
MSU has also made it, but got hammered. I'd also say that aside from
reestuart • 08/04/22 12:50 PM ET
fair enough. If VT, Miami, and FSU get well, the perception will be better
ren_hoek • 08/04/22 02:03 PM ET
that would certainly help. I think the ACC's big issue is numbers, though.
reestuart • 08/04/22 05:56 PM ET
Couldn't the .....
2hhoop3 • 08/04/22 11:46 AM ET
tv ratings don't say that.
reestuart • 08/04/22 12:51 PM ET
Discussion.......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/22 05:51 PM ET
yeah, that's just Clemson, and they don't exactly kill it ratings-wise.**
reestuart • 08/04/22 09:38 AM ET
Clemson does just fine. They draw as many eyeballs as anyone. **
BBBDatVT_ • 08/04/22 04:06 PM ET
not really true. Like you say, they do fine, but they are a step below
reestuart • 08/04/22 05:57 PM ET
They haven't had a single regular season game in the top 15 from 2015-2019
reestuart • 08/04/22 06:16 PM ET
They’re not paying by the win, paying by the viewer. ◄
BBBDatVT_ • 08/04/22 08:56 AM ET
just goes to show you that number of fans is more important than anything
reestuart • 08/04/22 09:42 AM ET
They get pretty decent numbers actually.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/22 10:34 AM ET
Millions away? Very doubtful **
VaTechHokiesACC • 08/04/22 03:34 AM ET
yeah, people aren't going to stop watching as long as it's on TV.
reestuart • 08/04/22 11:24 AM ET
It is a bit of a train wreck. But what to do?
