ACC received 240 million this past year for 63 football games (32 ABC/ESPN and 31 Raycom)about 3.8 million/game

The B1G just got 7.6 million per game for the second half of their deal; choices 2 and 4 each week and no title game.

So the B1G will get double what the ACC made last year on a per game basis but ESPN picks behind Fox for those games. ESPN will never get the marquis game or the championship game.

ACC may not get double the current deal but it could be close.

Edit: Avg of ESPN/Fox is 8.6. If football is 80% of the deals, then the football games in total are worth $6.88 million on average including the championship game.

If Hoo86 is right and the "look in" dictates a certain fraction, then I think the ACC will be in good shape contract-wise after 2017. They may get less per game, but they may also get more games. The down side is it might be 2017 before the ACCN and a new revenue deal kicks in. So perhaps the $45 million bump for 2016?

This situation is what the "look in" is designed to address. -- HOO86 06/21/2016 8:57PM

Do you think it is realistic for the deal to double during a look-in? -- Colonel Jessup 06/21/2016 4:50PM
