Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

I can't believe some big mouth moron leaking to Zanetto is what ultimately killed our athletic department.

We’re not dead yet!!!!

What are the relative numbers? I thought they were both roughly the same somewhere around $44 million per school.

In the past, the B12 was bringing in a lot less revenue, but distributing it among far fewer members. (And there’s exit fee money figured in somewhere.) The newest members to the B12 were actually dilutive whereas the ACC’s new members, as crazy as they are, will be additive.

I think this chart overstates the difference a bit, but it’s instructive. I think he’s trying to guess the ACC Network payout with the new carriage fees. There actually will be decent revenue from the additions.

And they wouldn't have had a chance to chime in if it wasn't leaked

There were like 17 schools plus a conference office involved in this discussion. There were likely several hundred people aware of the discussion. Do you think anyone involved thought it was going to remain a secret? Because that is the premise of this whole silly victimization fantasy.

But, this past season's TV ratings don't support your statements as Big 12 football had more eyeballs then the ACC. This was from a previous post and this includes FSU and Clemson so if Clemson and FSU left, the Big 12 would have far and away better TV ratings than the ACC.

Week 0/1: ACC: 11.002 million, Big 12: 9.443 million
Week 2: ACC: 4.642 million, Big 12: 6.138 million
Week 3: ACC: 4.137 million, Big 12: 4.166 million
Week 4: ACC: 5.311 million, Big 12: 9.035 million
Week 5: ACC: 4.781 million, Big 12: 8.174 million
Week 6: ACC: 5.831 million, Big 12: 4.821 million
Week 7: ACC: 2.580 million, Big 12: 4.642 million

Total viewers: Big 12: 48.857 million viewers, ACC: 38.284 million viewers.

This is a small sample size, but it clearly shows the Big 12 is holding it's own or doing better versus the ACC and the trends continued throughout the season.

It is not only how many. Who enters the equation too. One reason golf is even on tv is that 74% of its viewers earn 75,000 plus (2023 number). I’d bet ACC viewers have higher average incomes than B12 viewers.

Are you taking into account the Cattle Ranchers and Energy Industry?

And you wonder why the big 12 presidents didn’t want us

The only game competing directly with the Big 12 Championship was the MAC Championship Game.

Meanwhile, the ACC title game shared the same time slot as the Big Ten Championship Game, featuring Penn State vs. Oregon.

The Big 12 game was at noon which is not a good time slot for viewers and the ACC game was at 8 PM.
