The implication of unequal revenue sharing is profound.

I think there are many different possibilities if the other conferences adopt unequal revenue sharing. Yormark wanted UConn badly, but the Big 12 presidents rejected it. Why? Because UConn’s value doesn’t justify a full share. But what if UConn were willing to join with a PERMANENT half share? That would certainly change the calculation. The SEC may want to enter the Virginia market, but Virginia Tech or UVA would dilute the payout. Again, unequal revenue sharing could solve the problem. The impact of uneven revenue share might be magnified around 2030. Let’s say the P2 shifts to a true pro model in 2030, where players no longer have to attend school. Would Vanderbilt or Northwestern stay in the pro P2 leagues while only receiving half share? If they leave, that would open up more spots.

B1G already has it**
daveinop • 03/10/25 11:30 AM ET
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.**
Stech • 03/10/25 07:25 PM ET
only question is whether all conferences will do it and to what extent
daveinop • 03/10/25 07:55 PM ET
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)**
