And they spent about $22,000,000 more. They beat us in football, basketball, and baseball and played for a 3rd consecutive CWS and they dominated Nebraska in their bowl game.
WTEff about this does NOT make sense to you ACC proponents?

Go to the Big XII? That won't bring $22M/year more than what we get.

I've stated all along that the 20 mil forthe current 10 teams is estimated. What do you not understand about the word estimated?

I said the monetary difference Clemson would make in the Big XII compared to the ACC would not be significant. Showing me a link that has the Big XII bringing in 19M/year from their TV deal and also mentioning the fact that WVU will not be recieving a full payment does not at all dispute that in the least.

That's before the renegotiation of adding Clemson and FSU and whoever else. Are you really going to act dumb and play like that deal isn't going to go way up when expansion takes place? If so, it is pointless to debate you because you're absolutely clueless.

Of. Purse he said that. What else would be say when he's trying to bend over backwards to join the conf? Besides, ND isn't going anywhere now
If you don't think fsu and Clemson bring a renegotiated contract you're demented and I'm not even going to try to argue with you. You take things and spin them your way to oblivion. Night

That 19 mil is before the espn contract. That's what they're paying them this year.

per year for the next 5 years, and the rumored renegotiated contract for the Big XII is around $25M/team, we're talking an increase of $12M per year, so yeah, really.

You guys always pull out that garbage. The average amount payed per school is just that. An average that each school is payed over the length of the contract. What kind of idiot would sign a deal that pays you the same amount today and 10 years from now?

Big12 numbers
Jun 27, 2012, 2:55 PM
[ in reply to Every deal is backloaded. ] |
|
Don't include:
1. Money from a championship game (and said championship game's naming rights) if they go back to 12 teams.
2. Money from the new "Champions Bowl" with the SEC
I still don't think we leave unless Florida State leaves, but if FSU goes then we have to go with them or go to the SEC (if either is an option) because the ACC deal will get renegotiated for even less.

Fact - The ACC just paid out 17 mil per team
Jun 27, 2012, 3:24 PM
[ in reply to When you consider the ACC is only going to pay out $13M ] |

Fact- the SEC just paid out 20 mil.
That's prior to either conferences renegotiated deals.
B12 was released-- don't remember exactly but believe it was 19 or 20 but they admitted that # was skewed by departure of Nebraska and Missouri not getting their share and TCU/WVU will only get 1/2 for several years
Everything else is just rumored #s and speculation

The reason South Carolina is winning is not because of money it is because they have better coaches. Better coaches recruit the talent and actually coach up the talent.

Moving to the Big XII would not provide a significant increase to the money we bring in. Making $4M/year more while paying a $20M exit fee and having a half payout from the conference for years, while also paying more for travel will not bring us any closer to USCe. That is all.
You guys act like the Big XII is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

How much money they get depends on how well they play. Just like the ACC. To me looking at the ACC I see a lot of programs that have been good in the past, but down recently (Clemson, Miami, FSU, even UMD/UVA/BC to a lesser extent). In the Big XII I see Texas, Oklahoma and a bunch of teams that have been playing above where they historically have been.
To me I believe that an ACC at its peak is worth more than the Big XII at its peak.

Agreed. People on here make the Big 12 out to be a super conference because they had a great season in 2011. There were a few teams that have had limited success, teams with no success, and a few national teams. You have Texas and Oklahoma at the top. OSU has had 4 good recent years and have historically not been too good, Texas Tech has been historically mediocre, KSU has had 0 success outside Bill Snyder, Kansas, Baylor, Iowa State have always been garbage, TCU and WVU have been pretty good over the past decade.

It's one thing sending the football team to Norman to play the Sooners on national TV. It quite another to send the volleyball squad to Ames, Iowa, to play for 12 people and no gate.

Also, the $20MM v. $17MM does not consider the fact that Big 12 teams are required to invest in their network which is like $4MM. The ACC doesn't require this and also reimburses its teams for championship/tournament expenses in all sports. The $3MM gap that some of the media are talking about is not really intellectually honest.

Have you seen their current ranking vs ours right now
Jun 27, 2012, 3:11 PM
|

despite us having the #1 player? Do you realize we lost out on Gilmore, Lattimore and Holloman to them recently?
do you realize that by them playing better competition in their confernece, that they've gotten better OOC?
While you continue to try and point out why moving woudl be a bad idea, which you haven't proven, you've given no facts to support your claim that staying is better and will help us.

Look at Rivals. They're ranked higher. Scoutt too I think.
Jun 27, 2012, 3:23 PM

But you bring up a good point. If they're not out-recruiting us, maybe they're just getting better by playing tougher competition than we play in the ACC.
And they got Lattimore, we didn't. They got Holloman, we didn't. They got Gilmore, we didn't. And they got James Davis's brother when we were in need of a RB.

ESPN's recruiting rankings are the ONLY recruiting ranking source where USC is not ranked better than CU. ESPN has gotten better with their recruiting evaluations - at one time they were below even Scout.com, which is really saying something - but Rivals and 24/7Sports are still considered more comprehensive, and they rank USC's class higher right now, if only because USC's class currently has more commitments....

Moving to the Big XII would make no sense whatsoever
Jun 27, 2012, 3:00 PM

It would be terrible for the school and hurt our athletics programs. You guys are too concerned over a few pennies here and fail to see the big picture. Today at its worst, the ACC is still considered one of the top 5 football conferences in america. The ACC controls the entire east coast and has the potential to be the best football and basketball conference in the nation. Have the teams been great the last 10 years? no, that does not mean it will never change.
Anyway I'm just bored and doing laundry. I'm driving about 14 hours over the next few days so I'm just relaxing at home now.

we fal behind financially, it will get exponentially harder to "just win."
Under your scenario, we just have to win.
Under my scenario, we still just have to win but it'll be easier to just win with more money.

revenues from the Champions Bowl and a reinstated Big 12 Championship Game, I don't think it's quite as far fetched.
I've got my qualms about both sides of the issue, but I think there's money to be had in the Big12

What happens IF FSU goes to the Big 12?
I think in that case Clemson MUST go with them. Staying would hurt CLemson and it's athletic programs.

posters are assuming no one is leaving.
A lot of the pro Big 12 posters are assuming changes are coming and Clemson needs to be ahead of them and not get run over.
So my question for TigerStyle13 and any other pro ACC fan is "what if FSU leaves". What is your opinion then?
And before you ask, I would prefer to stay in the ACC as long as all other members stay, and a few changes are made. Otherwise, I'm open to changing conferences.

I do think though FSU leaving would make us seriously consider our options, but I don't see it happening.
If this was a conversation about going to the SEC, then I could see its merit, but the Big XII, to me is just not a solution.

lot easier to win games with better talent.
More money makes recruiting easier and if you think the kids don't know who has the most or the best video games and weight rooms and fancy things, than you'll never get it.
and before you start talking about our current class with RNk, just remember that even with him, we're still behind SCU in most recruiting polls. And they've landed the # 1 player in state the past few years.

I live in South Charlotte, and frequent the ##### Sporting goods in Pineville. I can tell you for a FACT that USCe gear was NON-Existant in this store 5 years ago. Now, USCe is 45% of the available merchandise, UNC is 45% and everyone else makes up that last 10%. I don't think I actually saw ONE thing that was Clemson in the entire store.
Just goes to show that winning National championships in baseball and having some success in football will seriously pump up the merchandise sales and revenue numbers.
Sucks, but it is what it is.

Last year I was in Albany, GA for the HS girls state track team (as a bus driver). In the mall there was a sports store called "all things sec" or something like that. There was a small section for USC, but there was a display almost 2X the size of UNC Basketball gear.

Steve Spurrier to coach for us and Ray Tanner to coach for us, money hasn't been the issue. It could certainly become an issue one day, when the need arises to build new facilities and pay more for coaching, but money has NOTHING to do with our current futility against the coots. They have had better coaches.

But the improvements at USC in facilities has also paid HUGE dividends in their recruiting success overall, too. Carolina Stadium - while not the biggest college baseball stadium - is still one of the nicest facilities for college baseball, and often draws awe-inspired comments from opposing OOC teams that play there in season or regional play. It's played a tremendous role for USC's recruiting process....almost in-step with the role the CWS successes have played. The coaching staff is top-notch in recruiting, and has for years before the stadium was built, but added with the recent successes on the diamond, Carolina Stadium was a great addition...
Then there's the Dobie Education Center: recruits for ALL the athletic programs are taken there, and are amazed. The improvements with a football players weight and training facilities, players lockerrooms, players lounge, etc. has also generated positive results. The improvements of the Farmer's Market parking areas as well as the new video board will also continue the momentum.
It all works together hand-in-hand...

contracts. All of those things have been in the pipeline a long time. Yes, it is better to have money than to not have money. Clemson has not gotten beaten to date by money or facilities. Clemson has lost because USC has better coaching.
Money may make a difference in the future, but it has had nothing to do with your coots current success. Congrats for hiring two great coaches in Spurrier and Tanner, but neither came to USC for money. Spurrier could have taken USC for a lot more $ if he wanted to. He should, now that you coots feel you have so much of it.

If we have more revenue to pay higher quality coaches (and give raises to keep good ones), which will increase our costs (lower profits), sounds like a good thing!

ITS COACHING!!!!!!
They were in the SEC for 15 years and we were kicking their @rse. Spurrier felt sorry for them and coached them for less than he could have made elsewhere. It was pity and EGO that made Spurrier coach at USC. He is a good coach. Ray Tanner is a Great coach. Brownell should be ashamed of losing to them in basketball. Otherwise, they have had better coaching. PERIOD.

You can also look at Texas's recruiting classes each of the

past few years. They're ALWAYS near the top of recruiting. Always.
AT the end of the day, while I might not be able to say with concrete proof that money means better recruiting, I think I can say that without money, recruiting DOES suffer.
Again, an argument to refute the ideas of those who want to leave the ACC but nothing to prove or show how/why staying would be the smart move.

Profit means nothing in college athletics - you want to spend every dime so you have the best coaches and facilities you can get. Now you don't want your program to run a deficit, but you certainly don't want to try and maximize profit. If an AD is not spending money to make the program better, then he is an AD who will soon be out of a job.

Joseph, I don't think that is true. Wasn't IPTAY the difference maker up until the 90's, essentially making Clemson's athletic department rich by comparison to other schools?
I recall a recent quote from Swofford and he said that football and basketball revenue were about 50/50 up until the 90's and then TV revenue for football changed drastically and that is when booster club revenue became a smaller percentage of the revenue pie. Football TV money for the SEC has been the difference for SCAR in the last 10 years.
