Better yet, do it as a cumulative jackpotđź’˛for winning the MNC.

Take 20 million for winning the MNC. If no ACC team wins it, then it's 40 million the next year. 60 million the following. And so on. And put up 10m down to start for basketball. Let's start offering cash for what we want, and paying people who give it to us. In fact, I'd set up the whole conference like this in terms of other incentives (winning records, NCAAT/CFP bids, OOC wins, and what not). Sent the true standard for competition. Maybe if we are adding teams from other time zones, we should change the ACC name to the All-American Competition Conference or something like that. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 8/27/2023, 11:15:20 PM

Is there a time crunch for Stanford/Cal to make a conference decision?**

I don’t know, he says there is a soft deadline this week, whatever that
Stech • 08/28/23 08:57 AM ET
Has to be as Pac will be down to 4 teams at this time next year. Correct?**
VintonHokies • 08/28/23 08:11 AM ET
I assume that is why they are saying it is only a weak left to decide.
132863Hokie • 08/28/23 08:18 AM ET
Let’s be clear, he said I “feel” like there’s a soft decline CF week 1**
ombandit • 08/27/23 08:53 PM ET
People acting like $72 million in new money (adding the 3 teams) is nothing

WFU 20-19 in the ACC last 5 years
Pylons • 08/28/23 09:36 AM ET
Then pay them accordingly, that’s the point.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/28/23 09:40 AM ET
The money is only TV money. Doesn't help local businesses, etc.

Ok in college football power 5 SEC that is not a criteria

I agree with what you are saying. But if the payout is only a little more,
132863Hokie • 08/28/23 09:42 AM ET
TV money is all this whole thing is about. Envy of SEC/B1G media deals.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/28/23 08:08 AM ET
If you are looking at it from the colleges, there are other considerations.
132863Hokie • 08/28/23 08:15 AM ET
My take- take the the schools for short term and run
Mercury • 08/28/23 07:42 AM ET
~$100M with added ACCN revenue.**
hokieZ71 • 08/27/23 11:21 PM ET
Yeah exactly. Adding Texas and California is a huge deal.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:35 PM ET
I'd be fine using the whole $72m for incentives.
Maroon Baboon • 08/27/23 10:33 PM ET
Yes, but you still have to cover the increased travel costs**
EDGEMAN • 08/28/23 04:37 AM ET
Exactly. $72million is a ton of money if it’s results-based

Make it a performance league. Wins/Ratings/Attendance to get paid.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:54 PM ET
Agreed. And seems likely it's about $40mm net

17 team ACC means 4 rivals + 4 rotating over 6 yrs.

What is Clemson’s record over the same span?
sacramento hokie • 08/27/23 09:22 PM ET
Clemson destroyed them in the ACC champ game just 2 seasons ago. So what
BAMRising • 08/27/23 09:12 PM ET
We embarrassed them last year. Curious to see what the game this year
goldendomer • 08/28/23 08:04 AM ET
ND has beaten Clemson two of the last three times they've played
TerryD • 08/28/23 08:40 AM ET
I think it will be a game with two "equal" QBs, so it should be a great one
EDGEMAN • 08/28/23 09:04 AM ET
Explain last year's game
