As a VT fan I would want out of that conference. We would still be way

behind. We are not going to be paid at the level of Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC, and maybe a couple of others. Some, would fight hard for Duke to get a large cut because they are Duke, (and justify it by their basketball program). VT would not get enough to compete with SEC an BIG in this situation. It would be a disaster for VT. Ultimately, it would not work regardless. The conference would fall apart because the schools getting less would fall apart. We need stronger schools top to bottom, not weaker schools except for the schools that are already strong. Yes, if the SEC comes calling our top teams are leaving. But even with unequal distributions they those top teams and any others would leave, because the ACC would just be a weaker conference top to bottom with no real future. If I were Clemson or FSU, I would bolt that conference first chance I got even if I was making the same money as SEC schools. Why would they want to stay in a conference with a bunch of failing and dying football programs. They would want better competition. Plus if many schools are getting less, they would fall behind more and become worth less to ESPN, and eventually the ACC media payout would decline and Clemson and FSU etc... Would have a smaller pie to pull from, and would fall behind anyway. Just a slow death. No Thanks!!!

Should the ACC change how it distributes football revenue? If so, how?

Regular season money split evenly. Postseason money goes…

Can see some of your points, but not fair to the teams if ESPN chooses not

Wake versus BC at the end of the year in a meaningful game had a viewing

Revenue feeds into all other sports

That seems to be the beginning of the end for a Conference.

MLB works like that. Forced equality = Instability...
jesuisvtguy 07/09/22 05:43 PM ET
Yeah but the NFL is THE pro sports league in the US and they split evenly**
MrBayAreaHokie 07/09/22 09:15 PM ET
All of their games are NFL games

Didn't Texas get a bigger cut several years back from the Big12?**

I don’t want to do either, but of the 2, I would prefer to boot like Temple
Stech 07/09/22 05:15 PM ET
Have to stay equal distribution. **

I think there should be some hybrid system on the table.
LonghornHokie 07/09/22 06:56 PM ET
In a perfect world, I agree, but

Its the only way it's sustainable**
133743Hokie 07/09/22 04:10 PM ET
I think that depends on what you want to sustain
daveinop 07/09/22 04:29 PM ET
Sustaining a conference where 3/4 of conference gets less and therefore
wwhokie1 07/09/22 07:34 PM ET
The nfl proves you should split evenly
MrBayAreaHokie 07/09/22 09:20 PM ET
And it would work if the entire power 5 split evenly
clemson81nc 07/10/22 10:02 AM ET
I would add OOC games to those revenue ops.
daveinop 07/10/22 08:23 AM ET
If you have to do that in the first place, your conference isn't nationally
NokieHokie 07/09/22 04:48 PM ET
I think something should be done......

Problem is dollars are fungible

Seems like mostt in the ACC have upped their FB spending in the last year.
HboroughHokie 07/09/22 01:11 PM ET
Wake gets a bad rap, but go look up their facilities improvements. Their
91HokieBob 07/09/22 02:54 PM ET
Yep, Wake has put forth the effort lately. And was paying off. **
wwhokie1 07/09/22 07:45 PM ET
now they need to schedule real teams OOC
daveinop 07/10/22 08:43 AM ET
I think you meant to say "no one outside of NC Triad gives a hoot" about WF
HboroughHokie 07/09/22 03:10 PM ET
Maybe...but very rare occasion that I won't watch and pull for Wake when
