- The ACC is getting $3.6B over 15 years for 14 teams with a footprint of 95 Million people.

- The Big 12 is getting $2.6B over 13 years for 10 teams with a footprint of 37 Million people.

That means:

- ESPN/Fox are paying $5.41/yr for every person in the Big12 footprint (w/ no Championship Game)
- ESPN is paying $2.53/yr for every person in the ACC footprint (w/ a Championship Game)

I would not be surprised if the ratings/person are higher within the Big 12. But, with most (not all) cable revenue tied to subscribers over advertising (which is ratings driven). Do you really think Big 12 is worth 2.1x more per person than the ACC?

Conclusion:
FSU fans must be right. That ACC Commissioner is a complete tool and should be brought up on criminal charges. There is no way he can justify having every team in the ACC making anything less than $25M/yr - $30M/yr.
