Not what Dave's article suggests. They will pay off back debt by 21.


So they were 3.5 million in the red for 13-14 season. However, USA Today tells us that they were over 125 K in the black for 14-15. Two different years and two different numbers. And yes, they did receive subsidies. Not sure how much or where exactly that came from.

But we're splitting hairs here anyhow. They are doing FAR FAR better financially since moving to the B1G. Even deducting ALL subsidies, the Terps and their less than stellar fanbase are making more money from athletics than Virginia Tech, a school with die hard fans abound. That's a problem. And Maryland's financial situation will only improve due to it's finally getting out from under ACC debt in a handful of years. Who know's how far their gap with VT will be by then?

Keep your head in the sand if you would like, but we're getting left behind. Next time you cut a check to VT Athletic, think about how much better off VT would be if it were getting B1G or SEC payouts. And I'm not even all that interested in moving to those leagues. I just want the ACC to be able to negotiate contracts that are at least in the ballpark with those two. I see little reason why those two should be leaving the aCC behind.
