Looks like Clemson, FSU Miami and UNC...

Are going to making a lot more money with new ESPN contract with this Brand Fund. Quotes:

-Negotiations surrounding the option ran in conjunction with discussions between the ACC and Clemson and Florida State on a new revenue distribution model aimed at alleviating the schools' biggest concerns over financial disparities with peers in the Big Ten and SEC, both of which have more generous TV contracts signed over the past two years.

Under the proposed plan, a percentage of the ACC's television revenue would be included in a "brand" fund, and that money would then be distributed to schools that annually generate the most revenue for the conference in football and men's and women's basketball -- with Clemson, Florida State, Miami and North Carolina likely at the top of the pyramid, sources told ESPN

If the money they get comes out of what the other schools would have received,

I would like to see FSU and North Carolina earn their way back up to the top tier of the conference before getting the “Brand $$$$$”.

We sure had to earn our way up to the top tier and we have to work twice as hard as FSU and NC to get recognition. But Clemson has probably been ACC’s biggest revenue source over the last 15 to 20 seasons. NC and FSU should have to earn their share of the Brand $$$$ and not just have it handed to them.

OP- 👍👍👍 but if I am being honest I am so sick of all of the attention college athletes and sports in general about who makes the most money, NIL, the SEC and Big 10 especially OSU, revenue sharing, Brand money, and everything that since that basketball player opened the door so college athletes basically are now pap for play athletes.

I watch less and less college football and read less sports media. It’s too much about the Money and who is making the most $$$$$$$. Now I can see why Nick and Terry Saban got out of this BS. This is why I wonder how much longer Dabo and Kathleen will put up with this crap.
