Yeah, that's what I am hazy on. You said that the ACC got $28M from the ESPN for ND joining. I don't remember that or what the overall specifics of the deal.

ESPN is a wily bunch, there are always kickers in the deal. The 'ACC Network deal' included, IIRC, the extension of the GOR and the acquisition of lower tier rights, so it is tough to say what was the quid pro quo. That's why I'm skeptical of the 'we got $28M for ND joining' claim but I don't remember one way of the other.

NBC is reportedly paying $15M a year, so $28 seems a bit of a stretch.

The per school payout to ACC members increased close to $2 million per member after the 5 ND football games added and other sports. With 14 members the math isn't complicated.

That $15 million number for ND is before the latest renegotiation. That was a 2005 number as well as an estimate because they don't make public. Most of the speculation I read is saying close to $25 million. So maybe ESPN paid more for 5 games and basketball, etc.

Best I have is this one, but out of that $56 million for the 3 teams, everyone internally attributed the ND part to about half of it.

So a market changes and ESPN's willingness to keep the band together drove the price up that year. The following year there was the following text. Still looking for non-assumed ND numbers.

Maryland, which leaves the ACC for the Big Ten on July 1, will have its share withheld until its lawsuit against the league is resolved. The Terps are challenging whether they should pay the $52 million exit fee required by ACC bylaws. The ACC countersued. A mediator has been assigned to try and work out a settlement between the two.

The next year was rather good as well. Maryland paid $31 million, and the CFP money started to kick in.
ACC reports $100 million increase in total revenue in 2015

There is no official announcement of the ND part of the contract increase. CBS speculated in 2013 for it to be over $1 million per school in this article. But 2014 results show it closer to about $2 million per school. With 14 members, you can do the math.
Notre Dame grows ACC revenue -- more than $1M per school annually

Needless to say, the ACC is getting paid well to be supposedly used by ND and provide a place holder for the non-football sports. No one is complaining.
 
I've been trying to do the math for you with actual numbers. I was never very good a math that didn't use numbers.

Half of $56 million is $28 million. $2 million times 14 is $28 million. I can get to the same amount two different ways.

You can complain or not, but it doesn't change the fact that The ACC is being used by ND. Maybe its a little more gentle than what The Big East got, but used none the less.

The ACC gets a slight bump in pay out + 5 football games divided by 14 members vs. ND receiving a permanent home for all of their non revenue sports, valuable eastern recruiting exposure for both student athletes and students, and access to The ACC's lucrative bowl lineup.

Sure no one is complaining now, but wait until FSU, Clemson, or Miami get passed over for partial member ND come bowl time. Oh and if its for a BCS Game ND will be keeping that bowl money all for themselves. Some partner. Plain and simple y'all got worked.

The point is that the pay for taking such abuse compensates more than enough for any concerns.

And by the way, ND's contract with the CFP is rather small. They get only $2.58 million per year guaranteed plus a fraction of the $6 million for a playoff game and $4 million for a non-playoff NY6 game. It is nowhere near what the BCS was for ND. They go to great lengths to deprive their own coaches and players an opportunity for conference championships. It's not apparent what they gain or what they lose if they give up independence other than being able to say it's always been that way.
 
O crap, we better hope WVU and Kansas don't go to the SEC.

Why not? The NCAA has given UNC a pass and repeatedly allowed them to participate in the post season when they had a shot a championship. Why shouldn't Virginia expect to be treated similarly?
 
Flug did not break UND to the B1G, that's been floating around college hockey circles for years, even before Notre Dame joined as team #7 it was talked about.
 
Coaches took a few selfies with prospects....and self reported.


"The violations, according to the school, involved assistant football coaches, who, “after a brief greeting, engaging with prospects to take a photograph.” Because of the number of violations, it was a Level II infraction, according to the statement."

Jaywalking compared to serial murder if you are comparing to UNC.

The "report" only said the Big10 was recruiting UND, not they were joining.

Yeah, I meant that B1G- UND "recruiting" and "flirting" has been tweeted and discussed for a long time and that Flug is far from the first to "report" on that.
