I don’t think it’s happening in large part because I don’t see why a deal happens now with the option picked up (unless something else changes). But I thought I’d look at what things could look like.
I got this on a Reddit thread. It could be wrong and if so this is all useless. But if it is…
First I know it’s one year. And a bad one. But we may see a push to rely on year to year numbers or shorter terms. Schools won’t want FSU to bootstrap old tv numbers long.
Second, the average here is in the 1.4-1.5 range. If you take ND out (you should) then only GT, Miami, Clemson, FSU and maybe BC have an argument for more money. And FSU is in fourth place there.
Third, a plan under these numbers would mean 7 schools would give up a lot to fund the top. One of these is UNC as it averaged over 700k. That also includes Pitt and UVA who the ACC needs to be decent football teams. And it includes SMU who is at the bottom of the list but is already giving up its media rights which are being used in the success initiative. To the extent that’s only for a few years I can’t imagine SMU voting to get screwed on the media deal this way when it did what it did year one and the degree to which it’s committed to football.
Likewise I don’t see UNC hiring BB only to agree to take less money. It just makes no sense. And if it’s not taking a lot less with those eyeballs, why would anyone else?
I get the idea of rev sharing sounds fun and fair if it helps us. But I can’t find a practical way it works even if there was a reason for the other teams to listen. I’m pretty sure it takes a supermajority to change from equal sharing within the ACC and can’t see how you ever get it.
Well I didn’t attach the image because I don’t know how. Can anyone tell me?
