ACC: Merit-Based Distribution Model?

Talks between Clemson, Florida State and the ACC have ramped up in recent weeks, according to sources, on a proposal that would allot a greater share of revenue to schools based on brand valuation and television ratings, as well as potentially alter the expiration of the league's grant of rights -- which currently runs through 2036 -- in exchange for the Tigers and Seminoles dropping their lawsuits against the conference.

The proposal, which was formulated by Clemson and Florida State and discussed by the league's presidents during Tuesday's regularly scheduled meeting, includes additional money going to schools with better ratings success in football and basketball.

IMHO, net positive for us, especially if brand valuation and television ratings are used in the distribution model. I would venture to guess VT is in the top 30 schools overall in both valuation and TV ratings and easily in the top half of the ACC.
