Wow. That's not a whole lot. $800K per school!? I know some of the D2/lower tier schools may make almost that much playing the Big D1 Factories in FB to help fund their athletics programs yearly.

Given what wasn't paid for the PAC-12 and what isn't begin paid for C-USA, it seems perhaps a reality check is hitting the market place.

That's a bellwether for the market. Mountain West gets $4 M per school per year (signed Jan 2020) and AAC gets $7 M per school per year (signed May 2019).

Got to hand it to SMU, they want in somehow, anyway possible. Seeing what they’ve been through that’s impressive or just crazy.

Assuming SMU, Stanford and Cal bring additional $30M per school to the total ESPN-GOR payout, and SMU takes zero for 7 years, and Cal/Stanford take some to offset travel expenses, the rest could be paid out proportionally based on some performance metrics. No guaranteed increases to FSU/Clem/UNC/NCST, which should not be acceptable to the rest of the league programs.

Is that even enough to move the needle to stop FSU/Clem/UNC/NCST from bailing in due time? Seems not.

My guess is the ACC has given up on keeping FSU and (probably) Clemson in the fold, but figures the NC schools may be persuadable. I think this is partially a move to pre-fill those spots instead of back-filling later. Get UNC on board, bring in 3 new schools and you never need FSU or Clemson's vote on anything the ACC wants to do again.

way to move the goalpost......you said "what isn't being paid to CUSA"..........only they got double what they were being paid.........just take the L and move along

Not moving goalposts. Not afraid to take an "L". I'm wrong often enough and have no problem owning it. It's how we grow and learn.

But for the sake of clarification, I said, "Given what wasn't paid for the PAC-12 and what isn't begin paid for C-USA, it seems perhaps a reality check is hitting the market place."

You, in turn, selectively chose to highlight the part you thought would make a nice zinger. So for the sake of completeness, I thought you might want to respond to what I said in full rather than selectively responding in the most sardonic and smug fashion.

I was making an observation and pointing out that C-USA is still making very little per team (even if it is double their previous haul) and the PAC-12 was left to die. Given these developments, maybe some rationality is returning to the business of sports broadcast rights. Context matters.
 
I will engage....here is verbiage from the current PAC12 deal

The new Pac-12 TV deals are a wrap and this is a big one for everyone. At $3 billion over 12 years, the Pac-12 will rake in roughly $250 million per year in the largest TV deal for any conference in the country. That means each of the 12 member schools will pocket about $21 million annually when this deal begins in 2012-2013, a far cry from the current TV deal that nets the conference less than $60 million annually.

So the new deal was reportedly for $23 million per school.....negotiated a year after two new marquee names departed for the B1G.....and somehow that means the money is drying up.....

Was it as much as they hoped...no.....but think what an ACC deal would bring if Clemson and FSU left and no one was added.
