BYU/Utah would be getting two shares for one tiny state.

Also the USA Today report says 10 schools are paying $7m each to cover the AAC additions this year. Apparently the new additions are getting $18 m each paid for by the schools this year. OU and Texas will lose their distribution next year after the leave ($40 million each). That could presumably pay for the AAC schools in 2024-2025 until the new contract kicks in the year after. Either way, more mouths means the additional money (NCAA tourney credits, the bowl money) will be divided more ways regardless.

Regardless, the next BXII contract looks to average $31.6m until 2031. The ACC in 2022 was getting $30.5m in media rights ($443m to be exact). Escalators and ACCN payouts should keep make the gap that much bigger over the next decade (even ignoring the bizarre Calford deal). In the end a few million advantage to the ACC shouldn’t matter. But then the PAC just broke up when they refused a deal nearly identical to the one the Big XII got. When you aren’t in the Power 2, sometimes conference stability can come down to a couple million annually.
