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 :mjlol: SMU to the Big 12 makes so much more sense.

Where do they land? I still stand by my SEC x B1G D1+ conference which will likely want those 3 in there, but this might not happen for another 10+ years.


SEC perspective:
- UF will not allow FSU & UM in the conference
- S.Car will not allow Clemson
(How did this work with adding Texas b/c I'm sure A&M tried their hardest to block it)

B1G perspective:
- really has no interest in FSU, they don't fit the academic standards
- Clemson doesn't
- Miami does (AAU membership), and would bring some Florida TV markets, but FSU brings more TV viewership, and I doubt the B1G adds 1 school for an uneven amount.

Big 12 seems to make the most sense.
