That is reality....there are multiple streams of revenue to make up FSU's and others budget total. And it has ALWAYS been true FSU doesn't make as many as others.


But how that equals, FSU doesn't get to or won't worry about a new $10-$20 million gap with SEC peers.....well, that is pure nonsense.


FSU is concerned....VERY concerned and ANY school in the ACC that competes for national titles will be the same (or we will discover there are no other schools in the ACC serious about competing for national titles in football).

While I agree with your point, and the ACC is working on a network.... once that is up and the ACC Schools see $$ from that the point being made is that UF still gets $22M more per year than FSU in Contributions.... So for someone like yourself screaming about TV dollars it is interesting that you are not worried about the $22M .

Also please do not expect for an ACCN to make up for the lack of contributions that an ACC school receives....

FSU fans discuss this all the time...as a booster...I am very aware of the topic. FSU has multiple efforts to address it........I wish I could say the same about the ACC....same leadership...same basketball first mindset....same 'as long as it enriches our commish and the NC area first' mindset. FSU isn't holding itself back.....the ACC is.

Also, this is an ACC board and a thread about conference revenue, so a totally separate topic.

The other HUGE difference is, the gap you are referring to has ALWAYS been there for FSU...it isn't new.

The conference gap IS new and growing. This topic isn't going away...it is only starting. FSU leadership knows it has a HUGE problem that is going to cause massive issues for them.

Back to the subject at hand.
