News broke yesterday that the lawsuits between FSU and Clemson against the ACC will be settled. We’re still waiting on some of the details, but the broad strokes are done.
The biggest takeaway from it is unequal revenue sharing. Teams will get revenue mainly based on five-year rolling averages of television ratings. That favors Clemson, and to a lesser extent FSU, as they are among the conference’s top draws. It also benefits Georgia Tech, believe it or not, since they get a bump from playing UGA.
The other big development is a reduction of the cost to leave the league.
