More details revealed on the ACC’s plan to appease their blue bloods: 

That arrived Monday with reports that the ACC will soon start a new unequal revenue-sharing plan that will give 40% of TV revenue to its legacy members – excluding Cal, Stanford and SMU – with 60% rewarded to the teams with the best TV ratings and performances on the field/court.

The payouts are expected to lead to an additional $15 million plus per year for the conference’s most successful and popular schools (such as FSU and Clemson). Those payouts could approach an extra $30 million when coupled with the previous bonus structure, effectively closing the gap with the Big Ten and SEC for a select few ACC programs.
