Yet you are able to compete. The ACC is fine the way it is, they are not
getting ripped off. If FSU for example can't compete unless you give them another 30M a year? maybe they are in the wrong business. The Ohio states of the world were making millions before they even thought of having a program, and they won National championships when the Blue Bloods were making 10 times more then them.
The SEC is the benchmark for competing for a National Championship, not the Big10 media deal, or the teams that went to the SEC or Big10. I'm telling anyone that will listen, start winning and filling up your stadiums, make the playoffs, and you will be fine.
BC isn't holding VT back, nor are they holding FSU back.
Take a look at what UCF did with their media budget - undefeated seasons, a new stadium, and premier bowl games. They sure as hell didn't have a $60M media contract to accomplish those things. What set them apart?
What set Cincinnati apart? Clemson, TCU, Boise State, Oregon, ... the list is endless depending on how far back you want to go.

I have no issues with that, since it's performance driven.**
