Costs of Going to the Big 12


May 17, 2012, 6:48 PM

Just thinking this through. If Clemson still plays SCU, FSU, and WVU (who is no farther away than any ACC school)plus two other out of conference schools, then that leaves only six games that would be farther away than normal. If we assume that three of those would be home games in any given year, then we are only talking about three long road trips a year. Factor out the amount that would have been spent on travel to ACC road games anyway and the added travel for a Big 12 conference membership might be negligible (at least in football). Of course, the non-revenue sports would have to factor in. The 20 million ACC exit fee would pay for itself quickly with an extra 10-13 million dollar pay check each year. Yeah, it’s doable.

Football would be fine, its the non revenue sports

Absolutely. Saw somewhere that WVU estimated

an extra $1M per year in travel costs...and that's with no other Big 12 schools in their time zone. It's easily doable considering the substantial bump in revenue.

I think swimming and diving would argue that ACC membership doesnt gine the non revenue generators much hope either
