FSU & Clemson Settle Lawsuits with ACC. New Revenue Sharing & Exit Fees Now in Place

Today, Clemson and FSU settled their lawsuits with the ACC, and as a result, a new revenue sharing structure is now in place, as well as changes in the exit fees that teams would have to pay if they were to leave the conference.

Regarding revenue sharing, 40% of the money received from ESPN through their TV deal will be evenly distributed. The other 60% will be divvied out based on a ratings-based formula that uses a 5-year weighted average. As a result, the schools that have the highest TV ratings will see a boost in the money they receive, while others might see a decrease due to this change.
