AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- Amid increasing uproar over the league's future, the ACC appears to be nearing a new agreement on revenue distribution that could offer some budget relief for top programs.
The league's athletic directors left a second day of occasionally contentious meetings feeling optimistic that schools would coalesce around a plan that would afford a larger share of postseason revenue -- including from a soon-to-expand College Football Playoff -- to the teams participating in those postseason games rather than dividing it equally among all members.
While there are a number of models still on the table for what league officials are calling "success initiatives," Florida State athletic director Michael Alford said there are scenarios in which a team making the College Football Playoff could add more than $10 million in revenue annually.
