Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 1851362, member: 153"] Based on what he wrote, he doesn't get that. His post argued that wake's money is a result of its association with FSU. But the truth is that ESPN looks at a pool of college sports profits, and then it tries to drive the best deal with the conferences that it possibly can. I agree with Frank on that. But it's not what we are discussing. We are discussing the channel's profitmakers and the way that money is channeled from schools in one conference (UConn in the AAC) to schools in another conference (ACC). There is a limited pool of money. Judging by the # of appearances on television, we can say that some properties are more valuable (profitable) than others, and moreover, the profits subsidize the others, given that limited pool.
