NCAA Tournament payouts would not make up for UConn's football

According to David Teal, the ACC took in $302 million overall in 2013-14. The amount of that obtained from the NCAA Tournament is well under 10%. I don't have 2013-14 handy, but for 2014-15 it was around $17 million, and just over $20 million in 2015-2016. Even if UConn made the Final Four every year after they entered the ACC, the revenue would only marginally increase as a percentage of the entire revenue total the conference realizes.

UConn does not have a lot to offer besides academics -- BigCrumpy 05/18/2016 11:50AM

UConn adds more than academics. -- HOO86 05/18/2016 4:26PM

A big (major?) problem with UConn's football program -- VTHokie2000 05/19/2016 11:54AM

ACC should stand pat and see if B12 starts to break apart, -- wwhokie1 05/18/2016 09:07AM

If UConn was worth it, they would already be in the BIG or B12 -- Mr. Touchdown 05/17/2016 5:59PM

UConn will end up somewhere in a power 4 / 5 conf -- marcbvtgm 05/17/2016 10:55PM

I think the ACC needs to stand pat for awhile. UConn -- goldendomer 05/17/2016 5:32PM

That scenario would be great, but requires ND to join. -- HOO86 05/17/2016 5:26PM

No. The ACC does not need another partial and does -- hokie4ever 05/17/2016 8:10PM

I think the league needs to get to 16. -- HOO86 05/18/2016 01:18AM

ACC didn't learn anything from the train wreck Big East. -- Maroon Doom 05/17/2016 10:08PM

Would the ACC be better off if they had cut that deal with the B12? -- Mr. Touchdown 05/20/2016 09:28AM

That twinge is pride effing with you -- Colonel Jessup 05/18/2016 08:11AM

I hated the deal at first, but have come to accept it. Its good for ACC. -- wwhokie1 05/18/2016 12:47PM

Not its preference, but would have taken a partial Big 12 spot -- TerryD 05/18/2016 07:47AM

Yep. Don't fool yourselves thinking gaining access to east & SE states... -- EDGEMAN 05/18/2016 08:28AM
