Report: ACC Network will put league revenue ahead of Pac-12, Big 12

"There are the obvious financial ramifications of adding a conference network. Though no one would discuss specifics, once launched in August 2019, the ACC’s network will likely add between $5 million and $8 million to each school’s budget (and for the next two years, in the run-up to launch, the ACC’s rights deal will increase). It will lift the ACC into third place in revenue among Power Five leagues, behind the Big Ten and SEC but ahead of the Big 12 and Pac-12. It’s not necessarily a bonanza, but it’s not insignificant."

This seemed significant enough to share. Nobody expected the league to catch the Big Ten or SEC.
