I’d imagine that number would be a tad smaller for us since Clemson and FSU’s increased share brings up the average. Still, we’re well above the Big 12 and it places us in a position of strength for the next round of realignment.
Personally, I’d love to expand further west with Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah.

I'm calling bullshit that the ACC Network is paying out $25 million per school.
Edit: So I guess looking at the math it might not be too far fetched. This is all pure speculation and trash math on my part. I also wonder what additional costs the schools are generating to produce the games for ACCN to offset some of that ACCN revenue.
-The carriage fee for in-state cable subscribers is estimated to be $1.30 for the ACC Network (probably less with Comcast). Adding California and Texas schools pretty much doubles the in-state carriage fees (It's like $0.25 per subscriber out-of-state and usually on higher tier cable packages).
-ACC states make up about 60% of the US population. So let's say 60% of the 60 million pay-tv subscribers, so that's 36 million cable subscribers assuming 100% of the cable subscribers receive ACCN and it's not on higher tiers in-state.
-So that's a total possible $46.8 million in carriage fees. The ACC splits that 50/50 with Disney, so that's $23.4 million in carriage fees per month or $280.8 million.
-Disney does not pay any of the production costs associated with ACCN games, does the ACC pay the production costs or the schools? Does that come out before the distribution or after?
-So before calculating all that sweet Tactical Flashlight commercial revenue, that would be about $18million per school (if production costs are borne by the schools) since it's being split 15.6 ways (Notre Dame gets a full share of ACCN, Standford and Cal get 30% each).
Edit:Edit: So it looks like with the addition of SMU, Stanford, and Cal they aren't getting state-wide carriage rates in those states, but only regional to Northern California and Dallas, so that's a HUGE drop in revenue from my math above as it drops ACC In-State coverage from around 60% to around 40% (8 million regional population LA+Dallas vs 70 million statewide in Cal+Tex). So now it's down to like $12 million per school payout before production costs.
