How many extra wins would an extra $30 million per year buy?

[Sean Miller Fan]

You cant pay the players from this revenue so while the $30 million gap seems massive, how would it keep Clemson and FSU for playing for National Championships? In theory, they wouldn’t be able to pay coaches as much as Rutgers or Vanderbilt but if they have a coach they like, you would think they'd pay anything to keep him. Now if Saban retires and Bama offers Dabo $20 million/year, that's just stupid money.

Beyond coaching salaries, there really isnt anything you can do with the extra $30 million/year that equates to more wins.

- more analysts - sounds great but will they win you more games?

- locker room and football complex upgrades - will renovated complexes = better recruits and more wins

- fan experience upgrades at stadiums including renovations - does this win you more games

- crazy ancillary stuff like recording studios, private waterparks, etc - is this going to make a kid go to LSU instead of Clemson?

I know that $30 million/year sounds like a lot and it is but this isnt pro sports. You cant pay the players. These ACC schools sound like effing babies. You signed a deal so live up to it or pay up. You have enough money to win. When Vandy hires away Dabo, then we'll talk.

I don't get the pissing contest between fans about the money coming in from the TV contracts. The fans are the ones who will pay the money in the end.

Here's the correct play for the ACC:
Dear FSU: We are gonna gib you dat big increase in da rebenue shar. U so valubul dat we charge U fans $10 fer yur way games shown on dis ACC netwurk. we gib you bak some dat/ Sound gud? U play Div 2 home game we reduce U pay. get that U punks?

Luv ESPN via ACC.

Chest thumping from the corn picking conference because their real church meets on Saturday afternoon in the fall and the legions of fans will never stop attending. Also the Big12 fans that constantly cite numbers that aren't real and have this assumption that everyone wants to be them. No surprise given the academic standings of those schools and the painfully slow internet outside of sprawling urban areas like Lawrence and Ames.
