It depends on what you mean by revenues.


No ACC school will ever drive more revenue than Ohio State, Penn State, or Michigan. They all have 100,000 seat stadiums that they fill and charge high ticket prices for the seats, especially Ohio State. Those will always make more revenue than ACC schools, but they also have 30+ sports programs each.

The rest of the Big Ten has 80,000 seat stadiums and smaller. The ACC has 2 members with 80,000 seat stadiums and ND does too. The top ACC schools will be able to compete with the likes of Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Iowa, etc. These don't have stadiums much larger than Lane Stadium.

The ACC network has the opportunity to be as successful as BTN with ESPN pushing it. So the ACC can compete. The ACC needs to continue supporting bowls and travelling well to them in order to get better bowl packages. We are closer to the Florida destinations, so ACC schools should buy the tickets and show up. Big Ten schools have a history of supporting bowl games. Having ND helped the ACC a lot with the bowls.
