Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 2219077, member: 3850"] What do you want athletic department revenue for? To field teams that are competitive...the ACC has done well with that...football and basketball national championships in the same school year...9-3 bowl record. No need to be an apologist for this conference. Next year, the Big 12 won't look as good against the ACC... This year, the Orange Bowl was a playoff bowl...and the conference did not get that revenue...next year the Big 12's contract bowl is a playoff bowl so they won't collect the $40 million that they did this year but $6 million...while the ACC will get their contract bowl amount...it's a three year cycle. The Big 12 has their deal with the devil...10 mouths to feed...for all the good and the bad that comes with being significantly smaller than the other P5 conferences. [/QUOTE]
