That must work out well for a team like Duke…

Well I’m not sure, but I’ve read on message boards — nowhere official — that all the bowl revenue gets put into a pot and split among all the ACC teams.

How the H E double hockey sticks does the Nashville bowl pay out that much and why don’t teams just maneuver for those bowls and the paychecks!! Bwhahahaha

When I first read this, I wondered why Georgia Tech didn’t decline the Gator Bowl bid. Neither the team nor fans really seem all that interested. But then I figured that GT was going for the paycheck.

But Jim has done the digging and it turns out that the Music City Bowl pays out 3.2 mil compared to the Gator’s 2.5.

And I’m with Skippy. I think that the ACC fanbase might just not care for Jacksonville.

As always, the Gnomes thank you for the lead Skippy.

To be honest I hope the ACC gets a bit more pissy, pulls the ACCCG from Jacksonville and moves it to Charlotte. OH MY LORD, that would make so much more sense than having it in Fl! Charlotte is “middle of the road” for EVERY ACC team…except Miami, but they suck now so who cares about them. If they want to make money, make it trekable for everyone.

Thanks for adding the article…
