Sorry. Busy weekend, and we had a big deluge that kept internet access wonky. Completely out for the last 12 hours, aside from my cell service. But it’s back now, and it will be catch-up time with recruiting, good stories and the whole ACC Media Days.
This, though is worth sharing right away.
Pitt & Syracuse will receive full shares 1st year in ACC; in 2012-13 made $3-4M w/Big East; in 2013-14 gets $20M w/ACC

Huge. Most of the time — and it was so for BC, VT and Miami when they joined — you don’t get a full share right away. They slowly give you the cut. Like…
Pitt & SU get full share 1st year in ACC; WVU & TCU don't til 4th year in B12; Md. & RU don't til 7th year in B1G

Louisville will also get a full cut when they join next year.
We are in business with the right people financially, geographically, academically, and athletically.
Sorry, I wanted to try out the pessimistic POV, just like some of our tranditional naysayers who post on here, to get a feel of what its like. Kinda of sucks!
Think I like the optimistic POV much better. This particular batch of Pitt Koolaid is colored green and tastes just like money, yummie!
Hail to Pitt!
i think so that means maryland will make less then the rest of the acc for a few years before they get 25 million i wonder if they had known the acc was going to get 20 million if they would have left
becuse 7 years is a long time to wait for your money.
Bad News…..Does this mean Cornhole gets a raise ?
We ALREADY know Rutgers is !
Not just wait until the fans begin to resemble empty seats in Morgantown.
Then the stuff will hit the fan and Oliva will be onto to his next job…he is going to manage his son’s career.
Who cares about Maryland? Not their new conference…not their old one either.
What a windfall Pitt will get this year … we’ll see what the admin will do with it.
