I can't see any way he's eligible next year. What a disaster for Tech.

Let me help you understand money. Our media distribution from the American was around $7M. In the ACC, even after forgoing our T1 rights, it's about double that, plus ancillary conference revenue is higher. In addition, we sell a lot a more tickets at a higher price. Donations and merchandise...

The initial claim was that we paid to get in the ACC. How much did we pay?

Yes. A lot of SEC teams have also been dropping OOC series given their move to a 9-game conference slate

You asked why they got a better deal than SMU did. I answered the question.

I'm not intent on "making them seem great," I was asked by someone else why they got a better deal from the ACC than SMU did, and I think I answered the question sufficiently. I don't think Stanford is comparable with USC or Notre Dame, but I also think the insinuation that they have no value...

I don't think the story is relevant at all to the discussion we were having. But you seem to get off on it for some strange reason.

You inserted a story about a female athlete for no reason, as if it were specific to Stanford and not seen elsewhere. Which is particularly odd, given some of the Big 12 schools' missteps in recent years (BAYLOR)

Yep!

OK. I'm going to trust a former Fox Sports exec over "froginmn" when it comes to media rights valuations. As to the suicide story you posted ad hominem, it's a good thing that no Big 12 schools have any skeletons in their closet. Like Baylor. Or Trevone Boykin using women as punching bags.

When USC and UCLA left the Pac-12, Bob Thompson (former Fox Sports exec who knows more about this stuff than any of us) pegged Stanford's media rights value as being higher than Oregon. And he's an Oregon alum. The Big Ten's subsequent expansion decisions contradict Bob's analysis, but the idea...

I don't disagree with your overall premise regarding the Golden State, but Cal still managed to draw more fans than Houston did last year, and Houston spent several weeks in the top 25 and is getting a full share of Big 12 revenue. Cal and Stanford also bring in the Bay Area media market at a...

They're the flagship university of the most populous state in the country. This shouldn't be difficult.

What reports? You can't give up what you never had. I think you're mad because we got back to where we belong, and that is now a threat to TCU. To compound the problem, TCU has completely shot itself in the foot institutionally in recent years with the hires of Pullin and Buddie. Buddie is out...

You can't give up what you never had. We paid $0.00 to join the ACC. Instead we took a reduced share, just like many other schools have done when moving conferences - Maryland, Rutgers, Nebraska, and all the new Big 12 additions. Since joining the ACC, ticket sales, ticket prices, and donations...

Cal and Stanford gave up 70% of their T1 share. SMU paid nothing to join the ACC. We receive approximately 3X in conference distributions compared to what we received in the American.

We gave up our Tier 1 revenue share. We still receive the rest of our share of the TV contract (ACC Network and CW), which is approx $12M/year

How much did we pay to get into the ACC?

I think that's what most teams are trying to move towards.

Feel the excitement!
