Revenue was a big topic of discussion at ACC meetings this year, as some of the conference\u2019s top teams attempted to receive more revenue compared to others in order to bridge the gap between themselves and teams of the Big Ten and ACC conference. A success incentive initiative<\/a> was put in place that will reward teams with more revenue based on their performance, but the conference\u2019s TV terms will remain same.<\/p>\n

North Carolina<\/a><\/strong> head coach Mack Brown<\/a><\/strong> was asked about these discussions at ACC meetings, specifically detailing the impact of ACC scheduling on revenue. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t get into \u2018don\u2019t play schools from certain leagues\u2019, but absolutely for us to get more money, more TV money, we all need to play a tougher schedule to be able to draw interest from the network to pay more money for it,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI think we\u2019re playing a Big Ten team, and an SEC team, and a huge game in this state with Appalachian our first three games. So we\u2019re doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that more exciting matchups generate larger audiences which generate more money, an issue that the ACC has been struggling with for a while. The conference has lacked parity for quite some time, with only three teams winning the conference title in the last decade (Clemson<\/a><\/strong> leading the way with 7 ACC titles), but Brown and the Tar Heels are doing their best to generate attention for his team in the conference with games versus South Carolina<\/a><\/strong>, Appalachian State<\/a><\/strong>, and Minnesota<\/a><\/strong> to start off the 2023 season. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I do think that matters to everybody, and everybody in there was told, you want more money pick it up. And we\u2019ve all been told we\u2019ve got to do a better job of selling our league with football. I mean some other leagues sell theirs better than we do, so we\u2019ve got to constantly push football and how important it is,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n

The balance of scheduling big-name, revenue-generating, non-conference opponents versus avoiding those opponents in order to ensure a good record is one that every program deals with. But as the ACC attempts to keep pace with the SEC and Big Ten in the revenue space, scheduling and winning those box office games is more important than ever for the conference. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then also, we need to win these out-of-conference games,\u201d Brown said. \u201cIt matters because it\u2019s important to all of us and that\u2019s why it\u2019s foolish when ACC schools fight with each other because we\u2019re all trying to make this thing work, and that was a big part of our discussion.\u201d <\/p>\n
