While the Atlantic Coast Conference prepares to launch its own television network in August of 2019, the league continues to fall behind the other Power 5 Conferences in terms of television revenue.
The ACC now ranks fifth among all Power 5 Conferences in terms of what it pays its member institutions in television rights. According to Clemson Deputy Athletic Director Graham Neff, ACC schools were expected to make approximately $26.9 million in television revenue from the 2017-’18 fiscal year, that is nearly $25 million below what Big Ten Schools will get.
To make matters worse, the ACC is the only Power 5 Conference below the $30 million mark among the Power 5 Conferences.
