[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129430036, member: 1754664"] For the sake of comparisons, here is how the conference revenue share numbers stack up so far for the most recent year (Big Ten data is pending); The ACC distributed about 20 million per school. The Big 12: Friday afternoon, Big 12 commissioner [B]Bob Bowlsby[/B] announced that eight of his conference’s schools will received full shares of $27 million each. New-ish members TCU and West Virginia will receive $24 and $23 million apiece, respectively; next year, each of those schools will receive full shares. Likely our full share next year, with expected growth will be about 27 million. The ACC is expected to be about 22 million. 5 million dollars is real money no doubt, but we would likely have both greater attendance and lesser expenses were we in the ACC. Generously, the profit difference might be around 3 million a year. That's still real money, but it would be a manageable price to pay for a far better situation for the teams and the fans. It's not admitting weakness not to be stupid. Obviously, we would have leapt at the ACC if it offered. It didn't and we made the best of the situation considering our actual options, but asserting that the Big 12 was the ideal outcome for us is just stupid. [/QUOTE]
