woo hoo my first blocking! Seriously, they had an ad that dropped down and took up literally 3/4 of the screen.

Why Revenue Gap?
Why did ACC Schools make less money in 2016-17?
Last week USA Today published total revenue and expense numbers for all FBS schools for the 2016-17 fiscal year.
The question is, why are ACC schools trailing so much in total revenue?
Is it in the ticket sales? Let's see...

Auburn gets about $24 million more than Clemson.
Kentucky gets $31 million more than Louisville.
That's CRAZY!
Keep in mind that a big chunk of this is TV revenue, though there is some radio, apparel, etc. mixed in as well. The ACC Network should make up most of that average gap; individual schools will need to negotiate better-paying apparel deals, etc. on their own.

Auburn gets about $24 million more than Clemson.
Kentucky gets $31 million more than Louisville.
That's CRAZY!
Keep in mind that a big chunk of this is TV revenue, though there is some radio, apparel, etc. mixed in as well. The ACC Network should make up most of that average gap; individual schools will need to negotiate better-paying apparel deals, etc. on their own.
Need Texas in ACC
I have long advocated to bring in UT and two other Texas schools into the ACC. It would be great for revenue purposes and works perfectly fine in a two team pod system that I also advocate for.
So in my pod system, every team plays the pod above and below it, plus the other team in its pod and then one “rival” that may not be geographically close. That’s 6 games that never change and then the other two rotate with the other available teams. The “championship” game is simply the two highest ranked teams regardless of where they are even if in the same pod (unlikely but possible).
This is how I would break it down with the “rival” in lower case across from the team
Group 1 (plays #9 and 2)
FLORIDA STATE -> texas
GEORGIA TECH -> duke
Group 2 (plays #1 and 3)
CLEMSON -> wake forest
VIRGINIA -> virginia tech
Group 3 (plays #2 and 4)
NORTH CAROLINA -> texas tech
NC STATE -> bu/byu/tcu
Group 4
DUKE -> georgia tech
WAKE FOREST -> clemson
Group 5
LOUISVILLE -> boston college
PITTSBURGH -> syracuse
Group 6
TEXAS -> florida state
TEXAS TECH -> north carolina
Group 7
NOTRE DAME -> miami
BAYLOR/BYU/TCU -> nc state
Group 8
BOSTON COLLEGE -> louisville
SYRACUSE -> pittsburgh
Group 9 (plays #8 and 1)
MIAMI -> notre dame
VIRGINIA TECH -> uva
So that means FSU would play a permanent schedule of Miami, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Virginia and Texas plus rotates through the ACC for the other two conference games. I don’t think anyone would argxrue with this schedule. Notre Da;me would get its desired “national schedul e” by always playing Texas, Texas Tech, (whomever of BYU/Baylor/TCU), Boston College, Syracuse and Miami. A nice blend of Texas and Florida for the recruits the northeast for its “subway alumni” and some old Big East rivals.
Texas gets a nice schedule of Texas Tech, FSU, Notre Dame, Baylor/BYU/TCU louisville, and Pittsburgh.
North Carolina keeps its old Tobacco Road partners together playing NC State, Duke, Wake Forest, Duke, Virginia and Texas Tech.

Need Texas in ACC
WOW that is really sad, not an ACC team in top 40 and UL ahead of everyone in the conference as the newest member. When I see Ill., K State etc ahead of FSU in this category there is a real problem. I fully admit I don't get a lot of this contract, network etc stuff; but that list is pathetic.
Wow, that's some sobering info. Guess we'll just have to continue to do more with less as we always have. Can't put a price on Nole spirit.

Need Texas in ACC
Would love to hear from @Dot Com or @Jerry Kutz about these “rights and licensing” figures. For starters, are they accurate? Assuming they are even halfway reliable, how is FSU behind schools like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, etc.? And what is being done to try to improve and maximize this revenue stream? I will hang up and listen.
Dot Com
Owner and administrator of Warchant.com
Not sure if all the numbers are entirely accurate but are probably in the ballpark.
Wrote about the disappointing distribution from the ACC back in May (FSU receives $27.2 million distribution from the ACC for 2016-17). This is obviously a major factor in the revenue disparity between FSU and the schools you mentioned. I did hear the NIKE contract will be redone soon so FSU should get a small bump from that.
What can be done? That's the multi-million dollar question. Unless the ACC Network really takes off it's hard to see anything drastically altering this revenue gap in the near future.

Allen, Winston's high school sweetheart, delivered a healthy baby boy, Antonor Malachi Winston, on Friday.
The original due date was July 4.
Winston named the baby Antonor after his father, to whom he is very close.
According to Winston's mother, Loretta, they chose Malachi as the middle name because it's the family's favorite book from the Bible, the last book of the Old Testament. In Hebrew, it means "my messenger" or "my angel."

Hmmm, noticed this in that article:
"He also just recently parted ways with his agents, Greg Genske and Kenny Felder, who had represented him since the start of his NFL career."

Who has Malachi as their favorite book in the Bible?

That is interesting, wonder if it was the agents or Jameis that made that decision

That is a really bad anti Jameis biased article right from the first sentence. Good grief.
Agree. The guy can't even have a child without some ahole reporter getting in his/her jabs.
There is no more decorum in the press.
Per Pewter Report, it was Jameis's decision.
He brought that problem on himself. It’s not hard to understand the top pick in the draft is gong to be under heavy scrutiny. Behave better and it won’t be an issue. There are people in the press that behave unethically, very similar to the people they report on....
I’m feeling some soccer love as well as some good ole ‘American football. We got some good coming on skrong.
