ACC new incentive initiative starting 2024-25 academic year.

[WracerX]

From the link below: the implementation of the success incentives will come solely from the performance of teams in revenue generating postseason competition. All other revenues will continue to be equally shared as currently outlined.

CFB: $64.5M and would be divided among 9 to 11 teams each year (call it 10), for around $6.5 million each, on average.
MBB: $30M and would be divided among 5 teams $6 million each, on average

How Much Will Success Incentives Be Worth?

This model rewards teams that have in conference rivals. Making the post season in football would mean scheduling 4 patsies and winning two conference games. Basically, this will push the ADs towards a kansas state scheduling model. Risking a 6 million dollar payout by scheduling Ole Miss instead of GA State would be an idiotic move.

This also further rewards the basketball schools, even though football drives the revenue bus.

Current payout per school is 65/14 or 4.6 mill per school. That would jump to 6.5 mil for bowl eligible only teams. For BB, it jumps from 2.1 mil to 6 mil for making the ncaa tournament. Basically, the good bb schools are taking in the big football money but not paying out the bb money. Clemson, FSU, and Miami are fools for making this deal. They should demand more from the regular season contracts because they are pulling in the viewers.

Wonder if any athletic directors brought an accountant with them to this big ACC meeting. The irony is I thought any unequal revenue model would end up killing the strength of schedule for anyone at the top in the long term, but now in this set up it could kill the strength of schedule immediately lol

Also the football case a lot of teams won't even net that much extra if they do schedule patsies and lose ticket sales. Basketball won't have that issue as you indicated.

Probably a concession to try to keep the conference together, because the lower tier schools are worried about being left out in the cold should the conference dissolve.

Not saying it will work but I'm guessing that's why.

good point if true, but so far seems like all signs point towards the ACC is undissolvable until end of GOR. so yeah, hard to see why any of unremarkable 8 would agree to this, outside of us, since key bout to have us in ACC hunt every year.

I’m not up to speed on the details, but:

(1) If the money split was one way under the GOR, and
(2) This new deal changes the money split,

Then that would seem like a material breach of the original deal (the GOR) to me. A school could leave and now have something to argue in court. And I would be in favor of GT bolting for the SEC asap (assuming they’d take us).

Just found this... Written 11 months ago...

A structure where the conference’s highest-performing universities make a bigger chunk of money could work for everyone. Clemson, for example, could still bring in enough media rights revenue in order to keep competing with programs like Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State. And while a program like Syracuse would take a revenue hit in this scenario, it’s still likely better than what the Orange could negotiate in a conference without any major brands attached.
