Comments on: Brando: ND Will Be Full ACC Member in 3 Years https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2016/06/02/tim-brando-nd-full-acc-in-three-years/ A Notre Dame Football Blog Thu, 02 Jun 2016 19:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.4 By: Irish Elvis https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2016/06/02/tim-brando-nd-full-acc-in-three-years/#comment-259059 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 19:23:00 +0000 http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/?p=34472#comment-259059 I’m horrible at math, but here’s how I *think* ND compares on an annual revenue basis vs a generic conference member:

– ACC: $14.1MM
– ND: $15MM
– B1G: $17.8MM
– Pac-12: $17.8MM
– XII: $20.3MM
– SEC: $24.8MM

The above assumes a couple things: that ND gets no revenue from ACC for other sports, that conferences do not withhold any funds off the top before distribution, and that all schools receive equal payments.

That ND is considered “middle of the pack” in terms of revenue while also controlling opponents, kickoff times, and their independent status…..all for SEVEN games in a single sport? Economics may drive the show, Mr. Brando, but it’s not like ND is gobs of money on the table.
