The ACC is saddled with a group of smallish and private schools....unlike the large public universities that are the mainstays of the Big 10 and SEC.  Smaller stadiums, fewer fans.  And that means less football interest.  And that is the main problem of the ACC.

Media money is only a part of the story re conferences...the top 10 in revenue is populated by schools that put 100,000 in their football stadiums.  Ticket revenue is the driver.

In 2014-15, FSU received more athletic department revenue than ten of the Big Ten schools, all of the Big 12 schools not named Texas or Oklahoma, and eight of the SEC schools.  The Noles were ranked #13 in AD revenue.  And that's with selling about 80,000 seats.

It would not matter much if some ACC programs received an extra $20 million in media money as long as they put 35,000 in the seats.

(PS...I am looking good so far....the final test results will be reviewed with me on May 12...thanks for caring)
