At the time, there was the BCS bowl system. The only way the ACC would get more money was to put two teams into the BCS, which was highly unlikely. Now, putting a team in the playoff nets any possible extra money.
The ACC has 100% revenue sharing. So every team in every sport spends and collects money, all of which goes to the ACC and an end of year profit sharing is paid back to each school.
The ACC has exactly what they want in the Coastal Division. Each year a different team gets to win the division and go to the the ACC-CG. Socialist football.
Yes, but its not like FSU was going to the BCS championship on a regular basis. Having a second team that actually had a shot of going to the BCS championship had to benefit the ACC.
Even during that time sending teams to bigger bowl like the NY6 would get the conferance more money than sending a team to the gasparilla bowl.
How does having a different team each year in the ACCCG benefit the ACC? The ACC benefits from having multiple good teams. Look how much more money the ACC was taking in when Clemson and FSU were both good compared to just FSU being good.
It is not just bowl games either. The ACC would make tons of money off U marketing if the U was elite. People all over the country liked the U when we were good. The ACC would have been respected way sooner with Miami being good. Getting more games shown on ESPN, ABC, etc. benefits the conference.
