Pride in the ACC?

Does the ACC being more competitive increase money in Miami's pocket?

When the current TV deal expires, it sure will. A more competitive league with multiple title contenders is worth a lot more to advertisers than Miami and 11 bums.

Does the ACC being more competitive increase money in Miami's pocket?

Yes, 100%

1. Better bowls including CFP. Not having an ACC team making the CFP will cost Miami 2-3mil. Having two teams make it will increase revenue 2-3.
2. Better media rights leverage
3. More butts in the stands
4. Lower costs for recruiting or better recruits as top recruits want to play in packed stadiums against top schools.

1&2 are via ACC rev sharing. The better the bowl means the more money Miami makes but it still will make north of 25mil. The CFP team makes the most.
3&4 are direct Miami costs and revenue. Every ranked team Miami brings to town adds more revenue as more fans show up. I except Miami to sell out the rest of the home games especially against Pitt & UNC.

Agreed. Which is why we need to care about the conference. Which is different than being like the SEC fans who celebrate every team like their own thinking it is cool.

I root for ACC teams only when they are playing for a title or against an SEC team.

I do not root for any ACC team unless them winning somehow helps us.

And I actively root against FSU except for when they play the Gators.
