CLEMSON – Graham Neff is headed to next week’s ACC spring meetings, and he is hoping for progress on a new revenue model that would generate a bigger share of the money for the schools that bring in a greater share of the wealth.
The ACC currently distributes annual league-wide profits equally among its 14 member schools, with Notre Dame, a full-time member in every sport but football, getting a reduced share. Each school received $36.1 million last year, but the ACC is already trailing the SEC and Big Ten conferences by as much as $20 million and that gap is expected to grow in the coming years.
