New ACC contract is back loaded... (link)


May 13, 2012, 12:30 AM

I dont fully understand how this will effect us but if this is what it sounds like, this is UNACCEPTABLE. The football (revenue) schools in the ACC must unit and show that this will NOT be tolerated. Pretty disappointed in this new deal if these details are true.

Go Tigers!

Think of it like this, you take in 2 extra kids to raise under the idea that it will make your family stronger, more well-rounded and worth more money. The problem, though, is that while the kids are worth more money, that money is promised to you in the future and not in the present. This means that you're going to be dividing up your food evenly to everybody even though the money you want to off-set the new mouths is 9 years in the future.

Further, the amount of money they are promising you in the future makes your already undervalued contract even more so as everybody else will have renegotiated their deals once or even twice before you get what was promised to you 9 years previous. So, not only do you have more mouths to feed and not only are you having to wait to get paid for those mouths, the money you agreed to receive will not be worth as much in 2021 as it is now and it's not worth that much now.

This is an AWFUL deal for the ACC. Absolutely awful, even for the basketball schools. I cannot believe anybody signed up for this and I cannot imagine the arms Johnny Swofford had to break to get this approved.

Interesting how he said Clemson's ties with the ACC were

too deep to leave and mentioned Miami as a team that might bolt.
