And no Shamers up there....bet they would be using the same TP
I was going to take this article on face value until I saw Auburn at #7 and Alabama at #9. C'mon?!?! So Alabama must be underreporting and pushing funds into "booster activity" or something...that can't be right.Only two spots behind Clemson.
Also, if Miami ever needed another reason to leave our ****ty conference, it's unbelievable that the Pac12 has higher gross revenue than the ACC. It looks like the Big 12 is bringing up the rear, but that's a misleading number. The Big 12 numbers aren't accurate because they don't take into account the third tier TV deals. It's the only conference that lets teams retain the third tier rights (games that aren't shown on ESPN or Fox). Baylor, Ok State, TCU and, WVU all make an additional $6-8 million each from the 3rd tier rights. The Big 12 revenue trend is blowing the ACC away.
Big 12's revenue distribution growth reflects national trend for P5 leagues

Alabama isn’t a national brand no matter what anyone tells you.
ACC network, please! Smh don’t make me laugh, that network is a joke! And probably won’t be around much longer unless the Tac-shaver becomes a best seller overnight. LolOk - so Miami decides to leave the ACC, where do they go?
Also, that article left out this piece from where they sourced the data: "The ACC has been expected to see a dramatic increase in 2020, which was the first year of revenue from the ACC Network." (what was reported were 2019 numbers)
Power Five conferences had over $2.9 billion in revenue in fiscal 2019, new tax records show
The Big Ten reported more than $780 million in revenue, most of any conference, as Power Five had more than $2.9 billion in revenue in fiscal 2019.www.usatoday.com
Miami playing FSU every year was not done to '***** Miami' - quite the opposite actually. When Miami joined the conference both Miami and FSU were National title contenders who were expected to win their division every year (how did that turn out) - they didn't want us in the same division b/c they wanted what they thought would be the 2 best teams in the ACC Championship game every (or at least most) years as opposed to only one of us being able to make it to the Championship game. If they hadn't made it so that we played FSU every year, fans from both teams would have been up in arms.
Your jumping to a conclusion that was nowhere written or insinuated in my post.
ACC is so bad VT won it 4 times and no one remembers. Didn’t WF win the ACC 10 years ago?
Wake Forest defeated GT by the score of 9 to 6 in 2006.
Because we would not get FSU as our cross division opponent every year if the schedule was normal. We should have counted FSU as a conference games on the years it would have occurred organically, and played them out of conference other years with a different cross division opponent. We win the coastal several times without that game. Fact is our conference schedule was on average much more difficult than our coastal counterparts because our cross division game was always against the best team in the other division versus the normal rotation.
If your an old Canes head throwing out 2001, then I’m an old old old Canes head.
