Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4656316, member: 1737"] From McMurphy's story: The only way the ACC can receive significantly more money from ESPN is by expanding. Sources told Action Network that if the ACC adds additional teams — whether from the Power 5 or Group of Five — ESPN contractually must pay the ACC a pro-rata amount for each new member. The ACC, if it desired, could add four more schools (almost certainly Group of Five programs), pay them a reduced amount and split the remaining revenue between the existing members. However, that likely would only increase the current membership’s revenue by a few million dollars a year until the new members would earn full shares. That scenario is unlikely, a source said. “We already have too many mouths to feed,” the source said. “That’s not the answer.” [/QUOTE]
