[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131734440, member: 1428007"] The ACC needs to renegotiate their contracts with ESPN to get more revenues and keep members happy. They do that by expansion which opens their compensation clause. While we see alot of misinformation spread, clearly one of the most important factors towards value is what your tv viewership has been. 2020 is a bit of an anomaly (WVU would have been 6th), but if you look at 2019 and 2018 numbers: 2019 in a 5-5 year, WVU had 13.27 million viewers How did that compare with the rest of the ACC? WVU would have been 4th in tv ratings behind Clemson 76.73 million, Virginia 17.84 million and Miami 14.83 million. (WVU was ahead of all other ACC teams--including the next highest Louisville at 12.28 million on the year. In 2018 WVU would have had the 2nd most viewers of all ACC members with 27.183 million viewers In the ACC only Clemson was higher with 74.633 million viewers while FSU had 22.979 million. Clearly WVU would have a positive effect on ACC tv rights if the conference were to add WVU. [/QUOTE]
