[GTFLETCH]

Not 100% finalized, per ACC. More revenue for ACC teams that make NCAA Tourney & football playoff! This new incentive initiative that will begin during the 2024-25 academic year.

So the gap between the ACC best football teams and the Power2 will shrink from $50M per year to only $45M per year? I mean how is this possibly a solution?

Bravo! The ACC is saved.

A-C-C! A-C-C! A-C-C!

So less money for the majority of teams who don't make whatever it is.

This is like communism in a nutshell. Everybody gets the same. But some get more of the same and others get less.

Communism is splitting it all equally.

Communism starts with a gun in your face. Socialism ends with one.

Biggest windfall in college football for doing very little is Vanderbilt. They get paid handsomely to suck.

Sets the end of the ACC into motion

You crack me up sometimes. Equally!

It's like tryin' to put a bandaid on a bullet-hole.

I think this is a desperation move and a big sign of a very weak conference. Does the SEC or the Big Ten have a plan like this? I think it will put more pressure on everybody and create a situation that helps some members of the conference to continue to succeed and simultaneously makes it harder for other members of the conference to improve. Things like this and letting ND be a partial member and get a vote on stuff like this is all indicative of weakness. Plus, it will just give a little extra money to the schools that have already decided they want to leave. They will probably use the extra money to pay their lawyers to try to break the GOR agreement. The ACC should be building up the teams that will be left, but the ACC is doing the opposite: hurting the teams that will be left and helping the teams that will leave.

That's like saying, "Hookers have it so easy, they get paid to screw."

Interesting take. I guess this helps if we are in a short term issue and saving the ACC can happen down the road.?

That's like saying something that Craig James would say.

Great information on the implementation of this interesting idealistic innovative incentive initiative!

I have to say this is the first time I've heard, "Reward those who are successful with more money to incentivize competition" described as communism.

I kind of thought communism/socialism was the opposite -- like UNC and Duke would get more money because they hold the positions of power in the conference, regardless of whether they actually won.

 

[Diseqc]

Would this actually have benefited FSU over the past few years?

 

[JJacket]

It'd be hilarious if GT and Pittsburgh became the ACC powers and the asshole 7 get an even smaller take than now.

 

[WracerX]

Here’s the funny part. In the past, the ACC as a whole had an interest in screwing a conference member in order to get a team in the playoffs.

Let’s say unc is a bubble team. The conference members would get more money by screwing over GT to avoid an upset. Even GT had an incentive to get screwed. Now, not so much. Maybe conference members will have more incentive for neutral refs.
