Wondering what "changes in the financial distribution model" will look like. And uneven split amongst schools?
Edit:
“This new revenue-distribution model — or ‘brand initiative’ — is based on a five-year rolling average of TV ratings, though some logistics of this formula remain tricky, including how to properly average games on the unrated ACC Network or other subscription channels,”
according to ESPN. “The brand initiative will be funded through a split in the league’s TV revenue, with 40% distributed evenly among the 14 longstanding members and 60% going toward the brand initiative and distributed based on TV ratings.”
The Wake Forests, Syracuses, Dukes, etc. are going to get FUUUUCKED hard out of this.
“Top earners are expected to net an additional $15 million or more, according to sources,
while some schools will see a net deduction in annual payout of up to about $7 million annually, an acceptable loss, according to several administrators at schools likely to be impacted, in exchange for some near-term stability.”
SMU makes the playoffs but 2-win FSU makes more b/c of viewership in the last 5 years

SMU to the Big 12 makes so much more sense.
