What's this?

Is it an extra "tens of millions" of dollars?

The reporting requirements by conferences are vague and vastly different. Maryland took it in the behind to leave the ACC to the tune of $27 million plus whatever the B1G is "charging" them for entrance (charging meaning they don't get a full revenue share). Without auditing the B1G, the ACC, and the University of Maryland, none of us have a clue as to whether or not this was a sound financial decision.

Wasn't MDU considered the "WVU of the ACC" when it came to fan behavior? ** -- EDGEMAN 09/01/2016 1:30PM

Yes. The ACC lost its place to go be insulted and vandalized. -- HOO86 09/01/2016 1:51PM

I remember it being an advance against future payments. -- HOO86 08/31/2016 12:57PM

Per prior reports, the loan covers the BTN buy in fee and will be deducted -- daveinop 08/31/2016 4:48PM

They have more revenue than all but 2 ACC teams. Nuff said. -- chuckd4vt 09/01/2016 08:56AM

Apples to oranges...but I'm sure you will argue. -- VTBB 08/31/2016 9:58PM

So the extra tens of millions of dollars won't help their financial problem -- chuckd4vt 09/01/2016 12:07AM
