    OT: New ACC Deal To Reward Clemson and FSU?

    Have you ever actually counted up the number of Primetime games that either School is playing? To be honest with you most of the Prime Time games are SEC or Big Ten schools. Dismissing the A&M thing out of hand is dodging it. You got to show the A&M is going to bring in more than the Big Ten is...

    Yes really. The big ratings game you're talking about or matched up against other teams and their responsible for a chunk of those ratings as well. That goes back to my point. Yeah anybody who's playing at Ohio State will get better Ravens than normally get. Anybody who's playing Michigan will...

    They have the ratings for the games each week so all the figures are there. All you have to do is get a pencil and a piece of paper and do a little simple arithmetic and you can figure out the statistics that you were looking for. Regarding your argument about the ratings for Florida State...

    Edit: I forgot to mention that the ratings from the conference networks aren't taking because most of them pull in low ratings. If you notice the Big Ten Network is the only one that appears in the ratings, and almost all of them are low rated games. That's because the conference networks don't...

    The link I provided has the weekly rating since 2012. Where do you think the yearly averages are coming from? They come from an average of the weekly ratings. You're proving my point for me. Florida state is in the second tier ratings-wise, which would not be near the top. That goes back to my...

    They're not near the top either. I posted a link to a site that has the ratings for all college football games going back to 2012. I'm not saying this to knock Florida state. Th3 dp have good ratings. I'm just saying when you look at the ratings that the SEC in the Big Ten are getting, it's...

    FUS's not at the top at most years. Have have you looked at the actual ratings? I mean the actual numbers year by year?

    There's not any compelling reason for them to want an ACC team though the only reason to add any new schools is to get more revenue for the conference, and honestly none of these ACC schools have the ratings that would really bring more Revenue to either conference.

    None of these schools, with the exception of Notre Dame, are good fits for either the Big Ten or the SEC. They simply don't have the ratings that are going to generate the necessary revenue.

    The payment has not been reduced though. The conference and Clemson/Florida St are going to discuss it, but that hasn't happened yet. There also was not an option on the GOR. the only option was on the TV contract with ESPN.

    The gor has not been shortened. The ACC is going to talk with Clemson and Florida State about possibly reducing the buyout after 2031, but those negotiations have not even been completed yet.

    The GOR wasn't picked. Meaning, it can't be picked up, given that it's an interal contract between the schools and the conference.

    OT: New ACC Deal To Reward Clemson and FSU?

    The issue with that though, is that when the Raycom deal happened, the contract wasn't for 20 years.

    With the nepotism issue, it's possible that Swafford could have personally been in violation of some state laws, for example.
