Is all that debacle cost GT.

Only $13,000,000.00 difference in what the Gator Bowl pays out, than what the Orange Bowl pays out.

Thirteen million dollars......WOW
 
Bowl Revenue is pretty much split evenly by the ACC. I think the only money the ACCC gets over the other schools is travel costs to the BCS game.
 
Seems like buying out Gailey's contract would be a wise financial decision in terms of what he is costing us now lost revenue potential.

I wanted to find a link to this information before I posted it, but I believe you are right.
 
Yep, technically, the only way you lose that money is if you have a chance at 2 teams in, but only get one, as all bowl money is dispersed through the conference members. So Duke gets its bowl money every year, kind of a payment for being a morale booster to the rest of the league.
Go Wake, represent the ACC well.
 
Yea. Money is split up. I think the team that goes gets in the ACC gets 2/13th of the money (plus travel expenses) and the rest of the conference gets 1/13th.
 
This news is fantastic!! Chan never has to win another game!

If we were still an Independent, do you think Gailey would have ever sat Reggie Ball?
 
If we were still an independent we probaly be sitting at home with no bowl money. The only Indy playing today that can make bowl money is ND and I believe thier days are numbered.
 
No money lost really. The money goes to the conference. Just like everyone above me has already said.

Navy is going strong and playing in the car care bowl against Boston College.

Still, the kind of premium ND has is sickening. NO other team in the country could expect 13 million dollars for really just an above average season. It reminds me too much of the New York Yankees and the New York TV market, whose revenues they then use for ever-increasing salaries.

True....you get a few hundred thousand extra to cover travel costs because you have to show up to BCS games earlier....but all ACC team (EVEN DUKE!!) make the same amount each year from bowl revenue UNLESS 2 teams from the ACC make the BCS....then all 12 teams split a large pie evenly.

We haven't been in a BCS level bowl in 40 years and you are going to lay this on Gailiey? Wake up.
 
fj, there will always be a team to make a bowl as an Indy but few and far between in todays CF.
I do not believe ND will dominate CF as it once did. IMO the rest of CF is a lot closer than it has been 40+years. If ND can not be in NC hunt every year thier NBC contract will disappear and they will say hello to one of the major conferences.
ND is a national school but that has been waning for a while as others have made big strides with sucessful programs. Having worked for an NBC affiliate for many years I can tell you not all of the affiliates, especially in the south were happy about the NBC deal to start with it interfered with contracts with other more regional team and that cost them in some cases a lot of revenue.
JMO I guess we'll see.
 
Hey rome, it's really hard to take your posts seriously when you clearly misunderstand basic facts. The ACC shares ALL bowl money except for travel expenses. It's a well known fact and well documented over the last few years. It's a big reason Miami, BC and VT left the Big East. They weren't happy with the boom/bust approach that conference takes towards revenue sharing.

So pardon some for thinking that if you get so worked up about something that's blatantly wrong, what else you don't understand.
 
So I don't get it. Just because W.F. has to split the Orange Bowl money with the rest of the conference is justification for it being OK for Tech to lose the ACC CG? How about national exposure for our program, a chance for the fans to go to Miami and not back to the Gator. If it's really all about he money that other ACC teams bring in so we get our share then I agree-let's be like Duke.:laugher:

We never said it was fine losing the ACCCG. The original poster stated that we lost 13 million dollars, when we lost far less than that in monetary terms.

There are many reasons to be pissed about losing to Wake, but losing 13 million dollars isn't one of them.
 
Where did you read that? Who said it was okay to lost the ACCCG? Unlike most of you I have to hear it from all the Wake fans around here so it's definitely not all right to me.

My point was, if you're going to bitch about something it might help to have your facts straight. For everything that lost cost us in prestige, national recognition, rankings, etc., it didn't cost us any direct money. So my point to rome is, try to make sure you know what you're talking about before you complain about something.

My point to you is to try reading the frickin post before you make up the other person's point of view.

NCJ,

you are right on.

I knew that but I must admit I did forget too.

So sorry, for my stupidity and I'll try my very best to get everything exactly right before I blunder on here again.

Thank's again for pointing that out so eloquently.
 
Hey, everyone makes mistakes. But to blame someone for losing $13M is a pretty big one.

Now if you want to talk about play calling....
