"The past week has been filled with a lot of speculation on the future of the ACC, so I figured I'd put together a little thread to clarify some of the issues and options the league has. This may be long but the TL;DR is this: THERE IS NO EASY ANSWER." "Start with this: In the past 12 months, Jim Phillips & ACC leadership have gotten rid of divisions & built the framework for a success-based revenue sharing model. Those were non-starter talks for a decade. It may ultimately be band-aids on bullet wounds, but it's commendable." "Now, let's take stock of where the ACC stands. ... While financials for 2021-22 aren't available yet, expectation is a distribution of about $43M/school -- ahead by a bit of what we expect from the Big 12 and $30-40M/year behind where B1G & SEC will be w/new TV deals."
