Thank you fsu and Clemson for helping to push the tiered conference payouts based on tv viewership!

The investment the school and donors have put into the football program is starting to show dividends. The future is bright - roster is in great shape, recruiting is terrific, and we’re in the CFP! Let’s keep it going!

Got it -- "Each ACC team will receive an equal share of 40% percent of revenues from the ACC’s base media rights deal. The other 60% is shared unevenly based on five-year, weighted TV viewership. Football accounts for 75% of the unequal share, while men’s basketball makes up 25%."

For the 60% variable component, if our 5-year average were 3x average media across both football and basketball, we'd get a 3x payout. I assume we're well below that given how badly we were performing prior to Cam last season. Still, we have to be getting a nice little bump.

ACC teams earn $4 million for an appearance in the new 12-team College Football Playoff with the chance to earn more by advancing through the playoff – $4 million for the second round, $6 million for the semifinals, $6 million for the title game. As the CFP money grows, so, too, will the distributions.The ACC is projected to receive more than $13 million per school when the new CFP contract begins with the 2026 season, up from $5 million currently.

This is where it gets confusing, as they are not clear on which "ACC teams" get $4 million. Do all ACC teams get $4 million for one conference member's appearance or do they split $4 million 17 ways? Based on their projection of $13 million per team, and the math on how much each round adds to the total (no more than $20 million is possible as stated), I'm assuming there is more money distributed than just the round by round bonuses. But how they arrive at the total distribution is not spelled out.

$13M / team /yr for the ACC is the distributed amount for the CFP contract ESPN bought for the rights starting next year. That all gets paid out/included in our normal distribution amount yearly from the ACC. However pretty sure this year it's still on the $5M payout, as the $13M kicks in next year... the B1G and SEC receive more per team btw. So you don't really count this as extra earnings..

The $4M per team is payed as a bonus from the CFP to the Conference of the participating schools. Well $4M for each schools conference in first 2 rounds, then $6M for each school in following rounds. The conferences then have their own Bonus pay structure for schools participating in bowl games and CFP. The ACC gives 100% of the CFP distribution to the participating school. That was a part of the new success inititative they do to reward the teams that actually have success. The ACC also gives $1.8M for every member school that participates in any postseason game as well. They given an additional $1.8M to any member school that finishes ranked in the top 25.

Further, for every round you participate in the CFP, that team gets $3M to pay for expenses incurred. I believe this is paid directly from CFP to the school - it doesn't even go through the conference.

So just for this first round and obviously participating in a postseason game and being ranked, we get $4M+$1.8M+$1.8M + $3M in expenseses. So $10.6M (though $3M of that is strictly to cover expenses). And if we get to quarterfinals it'll be $17.6M total. If we get to Semi's it'll be $26.6M. If we get to the championship game it'll be $35.6M in bonuses... though $12M of that will be for expenses... so more like $23.6M "profit" basically assuming the $3M/round covers all expenses...

Why? I personally like that ND is not in a conference. Conferences are limiting. ND can play all over the country. If teams could get away with it, I am sure everyone would do so. It helps with recruiting, for sure. Granted, playing in a conference would definitely be an easier path to the playoffs. I actually think today pushed ND way further away from joining a conference than they were before.

The other issue is that the ACC screwed themselves by agreeing to the games with ND.
The committee almost made it seem like the game didnt matter. If Im the AD for any conference, Im telling ND to shove it, because clearly teams should be focused on playing and winning conference matchups.

ND is in a unique situation, there are Pros and Cons.
 
All these articles could have said, ACC distributes CFP playoffs differently than every other conference to avoid all this confusion. So glad we all now should understand, Canes gets ACC CFP money.

Thank you, that makes so much more sense.

All teams and and conferences and the ncaa has been out negotiated by ND. Just tell them to buzz off. They need the NCAA. The NCAA doesn't need them. Any conference or NCAA negotiations would start at that point unless the negotiator is a moron or is on the take.

Why is playing in a conference an easier path to the playoffs than cherry picking playing the acadamies, Stanford and the like. USC only name brand they play regularly and they've been down for years? USC also gonna bail because that's a game they don't need given, IN, OSU, Oregon etc.

I think ND definitely had the easier path, but for instance with the ACC, our conference is committing to a 9 game conference schedule. We dont have any option but to play 9 conference games. We dont get to choose or decide how good the teams are that we play in conference. To help with that we go outside and play w 'tough' OOC schedule, but for some reason this year, it almost didnt matter.

At the end of the day, we made the playoffs this season, but up until the final bracket selection, we were getting no credit for beating ND in a tough OOC game. This is where I think the ACC has screwed themselves. Committing to 5 games per season against ND, but theres always the chance that playing and winning that game doesnt even matter.

IMO, I tell ND to kick rocks, I am going to focus on winning my conference and finishing top 15 to secure the playoff spot. A conference championship with a top 15 finish, will get you in 99% of the time. Until it all changes again.
 
Viewership and ratings have always been weird to me.

You know how many people watch on streams like Methstreams?

How many people watch together at BWW or a bar?

The real numbers are so much higher than reported.
