only question is whether all conferences will do it and to what extent

Big East did it; Big 12 used to let each team sell a game for themselves; schools have their own radio deals; Texas had LHN; conferences have let bowl teams keep the money; ACC and B1G are variable distribution now... I get that historically base funding has for the most part been evenly shared but varying payouts in one form or another isn't exactly new. ACC is simply the first to do it based on TV ratings. In a year or two someone else will have yet another model ** Edited by daveinop at 3/10/2025, 7:57:31 PM

The implication of unequal revenue sharing is profound.

B1G already has it**

They’ve talked about it, but I can’t find where they’ve done it, got a 🔗?
Stech • 03/10/25 01:40 PM ET
Oregon and Washington get partial distributions**
daveinop • 03/10/25 04:53 PM ET
They are promised a full share for the next cycle.
RandomAsianGuy • 03/10/25 05:43 PM ET
it's uneven but not a TRUE uneven? : )**
daveinop • 03/10/25 07:46 PM ET
temporarily uneven for new comers only**
RandomAsianGuy • 03/10/25 10:42 PM ET
Exactly, not the same thing. ACC did this too for its new members.
EDGEMAN • 03/11/25 05:34 AM ET
The ND scheduling agreement is BS from my perspective. It
Big12 guy • 03/11/25 01:03 PM ET
They did it with Oregon and Washington
mrcaniac • 03/10/25 03:53 PM ET
Is that ramped up payments, or is it lower forever?**
Stech • 03/10/25 04:32 PM ET
basically thru the end of the current TV deal**
daveinop • 03/10/25 04:54 PM ET
Okay thanks! I can see how you are saying the precedent has been set.**

I still do not believe either of the P2 leagues wants to be any bigger
VTCALS72 • 03/10/25 10:19 AM ET
The sticky point is that the P2 brands need wins. Someone has to lose games
HokieAl • 03/10/25 11:26 AM ET
Based on last decade- VT could ink wins for most P2 teams 😀**
drb • 03/11/25 08:25 AM ET
I would expect any of the desired ACC teams would take a lesser cut as long
HokieToph • 03/10/25 10:14 AM ET
If the P2 also moves to a similar unequal revenue sharing model...
EDGEMAN • 03/10/25 07:01 AM ET
The answer to not playing ND as much, is get OOC games w/ WVU every year,
Stech • 03/10/25 09:03 AM ET
Virginia has KU on their schedule. I will attend that game, and depending
Big12 guy • 03/10/25 08:44 PM ET
Not sure I like the concept of scheduling OOC based on potential TV ratings
HokieNoVA • 03/10/25 09:35 AM ET
It’s how you get paid now TV ratings, if the coach can’t handle it, another
Stech • 03/10/25 11:31 AM ET
That’s the whole point now. Tv ratings and money.
HokieAl • 03/10/25 10:47 AM ET
WVU should never have left schedule. **
MrFantastic! • 03/10/25 09:05 AM ET
If it’s a neutral site game, play Virginia Tech and West Virginia here!
Stech • 03/10/25 01:54 PM ET
So VT/UVA would get to play an SEC schedule but only make ACC money?
HokieNoVA • 03/10/25 06:29 AM ET
As a minimum with performance incentives that could add dollars
seekoHoG • 03/10/25 03:34 PM ET
Exactly! It's what could save the ACC (and B12)**
