ND only has an agreement with NBC for their football. There are two money making sports in college athletics, especially the ACC, football and basketball.

Not to mention the article you posted only mentions adjusted Big 10 revenue numbers while not mentioning any numbers for the ACC with the addition of the 3 new schools, nor the extreme likelihood of television contract renegotiation for the ACC. Oh, and lets not overlook the fact that the Big 10 gives new members a revenue cut for a certain number of years(5 in the case of Nebraska)(http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/...llion-to-teams)

That SI article was hastily written with shaky at best facts. I'd like to see the ACC numbers rerun with ND, Cuse, and Pitt all in the equation, and with the possibility(more than a possibility, its just a matter of time IMO) of a standalone ACC network much like the Big 10s.
