Did it ever dawn on the ACC geniuses pushing for unequal rev sharing based
on TV RATINGS that it creates a disincentive in fans of a particular ACC team to watch other ACC games not involving their own team? They should pay out for OOC wins relative to the quality of the opponent to be real. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 9/7/2025, 7:47:45 AM

Shouldn't have a big impact. ACC fans are too busy watching P2 games

"East Texas A&M": They should even be allowed to name a college that.
Turrible.

FWIW in 1996 East Texas State University was renamed TAMU-Commerce when it
joined the TAMU System. Then in the summer of 2024 TAMU-Commerce and TAMU System decided to rename the school again so it would "more accurately brand the school and reflect the university's mission to recruit future college students in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex as well as Northeast Texas." I guess it makes sense (kind of) since the TAMU System also has West Texas A&M University in Canyon, TX, Texas A&M–Central Texas in Killeen, Texas, and Texas A&M International University in Laredo, TX.

That's a given and teams should be rewarded for scheduling attractive OOC
matchups that draws viewers. But I was referring to in-conference games mostly. It I want Tech's TV ratings to be better than our ACC brethren, I will watch Tech games (on multiple devices of course), but no other ACC games.
