So does this new plan save the ACC?
I like the concept much better than the Big12’s for Texas. Pay for performance is the American way (at least it was).

who deserve it. Also each year getting closer to a bigger,better contract. The Acc isn't that far behind now,but projections are they will be if things don't change. I believe they will and ESPN will help if needed.

As soon as a school can leave (can financially afford it & have an invite) they are gone.
I’m really not sure why they put this in place because it’s not going to change anyone’s mind.

Why agree to less money while you wait out the clock?
It only makes sense if the SAD7 got something in exchange, like adding a year or two the GOR. But what did they get?

We talk a lot of smack about Wake, but they are kicking our hind ends in football, UVA's too. Can they sustain that success long term? That advantage in payouts certainly won't hurt.

Postseason payouts from bowls, CFP, and NCAA tournament should be heavily slanted to those that participate in those events. There is a lot of low ceiling programs that are content to take a paycheck while expending minimal effort. BC is a good example. They do bring a lot of in state carriage fees for the ACC network, so splitting TV revenue makes sense. Syracuse without coach Boeheim will be interesting. Duke looks like they're still good in basketball, but they'll never be nationally relevant in football.

Maybe this will backfire on FSU?
