I'm curious if someone smarter than me, don't get excited that's no great accomplishment, knows how in season TV revenue is handled in that is that too shared by all ACC teams or does it go to the particular school?
Just wondering because aside from BCC Miami had every game televised, IIRC, LY and I would expect this season to be the same.

It's part of the revenue split that the league disperses equally to all members at the end of each school year.

This number will increase in 2019-20 when the ACC Network launches.

Partially true. Duke and UNC get to keep their tier 3 basketball revenue to themselves. Swofford really boned the rest of the members with his NC bias

ACC should let teams keep all tier 3 revenue. Would that impact ND to become full member? Perhaps also intice another school?
 
Still can't believe it takes over 3 years to create an ACC network.
Can't wait for the Canes Channel.
 
Appreciate the responses. That kinda sucks especially when you throw in the tier 3 revenue. Duke is making out like a bandit.

So they all get to split our football revenue, but they keep their own basketball revenue?

Welcome to the All Carolina Conference. All told, the move to the ACC has been a positive for the school. Maybe there wasn't really a choice, but a Big East that still has Miami, VT, BC, Pitt, Louisville and Syracuse (and let's be real, the ACC only took the others in order to get Miami) would still be a legit P5/P6 conference capable of getting a 1 loss Miami into the playoff. At the end of the day, no one in this conference outside of the Carolina schools gets treated fairly, and the move has been a net negative for the football program. There is no disputing those two facts.

On the other hand, it's been great for basketball, really good for academics, and I would think has been a positive for all other sports aside from football. It also provides guaranteed revenue and smooths sports revenue year over year, which makes it much easier to plan administratively.

All of that said, as our football team continues to return to prominence, now is the time for our AD and President to begin demanding more fairness from the conference and start throwing our weight around a bit more. The day cannot come soon enough that Blake James starts talking publicly about things like this tier 3 revenue disparity, and I really want to hear him say to the media that the ACC better never schedule Miami again for Thursday or Friday road games, cause we won't be doing that anymore. This playing on the road on the day after Thanksgiving thing is complete bullsh!t. Even worse is sending Clem$on up to Syracuse on a Thursday night. The top teams in the conference have to say #nomore to that crap. If the league wants GT and BC playing on national TV on Thursday night, so be it. National title contenders don't need to be doing that bush league stuff.

Also, when scientific studies prove that league officiating is biased, the AD's of those programs who suffer the bias should be speaking out about it.

It's time we stopped bending over and taking this crap.

When you look at the ACC as a whole there's a lot of dead weight programs compared to the PAC 12 and BIG 12.

Wake, Duke, UVA, BC, Pitt etc.
 
Maybe initially, and I only say initially, there was some possible sense to the way this was structured, at least if it was looked at in a temporary bridging or startup manner.

It makes absolutely no fūcking sense now, at least with this little bit of surface information I have. I’d like to have more nuts and bolts data, more solid contractual information and revenue comparators, to be able to render a truly informed opinion.

But based on this, it sure does seem like we more than carry our weight with football, and now, we easily carry our weight with basketball, yet share football revenue equally with all the laggards, while Tobacco Road hoards their basketball revenue. Again, I have little info here, but I would hope the AD, and yes, the school president, have a tremendous chip on their shoulder...and some plan to do try do something about it at some point.

Spot on. We (along with FSU and Clemson) could easily seize control of the conference away from the Dook/UNC cabal and their little brothers/enablers Wake and NC State.

The problem is that the university presidents are usually happy with the status quo as long as it's profitable. Look at college football as a whole too. We've allowed the SEC to seize so much power when the Big Ten alone (based on alumni size and pure $) could've put them in their place years ago.

This issue even with fanbases tends to not get enough of a response too. When Swofford and the Tobacco Road Mafia quickly moved the ACCCG back to good ol' Chatlotte for the next 300 years the outcry was minimal at best with even a good portion of our fanbase saying that it was convenient travel for them from their non South Florida residences.

Charlotte does make the most sense for an ACC Championship game, though.

I don't have an objection.

Not when you're called the ATLANTIC COAST conference and Charlotte is a 2nd rate town if your options are from Miami to Bahhhston. Not to mention that these clowns are already rotating the Conference hoops championship back to Carolina too.

It's the geographic center of the league and Charlotte is a big, growing metropolis.

The only negative is the weather.

If we could get Atlanta, that would be better. But we can't.

Geographic center is almost meaningless in the modern world of travel by aeroplanes.

There's absolutely no reason to not rotate it. As they should the hoops championship. When the football championship is in the south the hoops should be in the north or when the football is in Florida then the hoops is in Carolina etc etc.

Exactly. Geographic center is meaningless. It’s about hubs and hotels. Thinks cities like Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, ok even Charlotte, throw in Tampa, if you like....so many cities to choose from with easy flights and plenty of beds.
 
Hoops is played indoors. Play the football championship indoors or in a warm weather city. This idea that Charlotte is somehow the “center” of the conference and therefore a “logical” place for the championship game is ludicrous. By that logic, every national championship should be held in Lebanon, Kansas. Please...

The ACCCG should either rotate, or it should find its place as a permanent home in a warm weather city with lots of options for things for visiting fans to do and see and lots of places to stay. Orlando or Tampa would be great options. One day soon, Jacksonville will be a really nice option as well. One thing is for certain: locking up a contract to remain in one host city for well over a decade serves only one interest, preventing the conference from exercising better options and moving the game at a later date. It’s preposterous, shameful, and corrupt.
