a big advantage in owning the rights to the Orange. When the Orange is a semi-final, the ACC gets the broadcast money even if an ACC team is not in the game. Also the ACC does not have to split the broadcast rights with another conference like the SEC/Big12 split the champions bowl and the Pac12/Big 10 split the Rose. Here is a cut and paste:

VERY smart for both the ACC and Orange Bowl to do this. It's what the Rose Bowl already does and the Champions Bowl plans to do. Remember that these rights *include* the semifinal games when the Orange is the host, so the ACC is essentially getting direct broadcast payments for at least 4 semifinal games over the course of the 12-year deal *regardless* of whether the ACC is actually a semifinal participant. Plus, the ACC isn't going to be splitting that broadcast revenue in the same manner that the Big Ten/Pac-12 and SEC/Big 12 do with their respective bowls (although those respective bowls would likely receive higher rights fees overall compared to the Orange, so it's a give and take). Any thoughts that the ACC wouldn't be financially viable going forward ought to be erased completely.

The Rose bowl broadcast rights were split between the two conferences of Pac12 & Big10. The bowl would make it's money from ticket revenues, sky boxes, advertising in the stadium, concession sales and would pay out to the two teams the BCS payout.

Now that the OB has that kind of deal with the ACC, then there is only one conference that is the recipient of those revenues and it goes to the ACC regardless of who is playing in the OB.

The OB is a less revenue generator than the other bowls. It is evident by the BCS pay out per bowl. Sugar, Fiesta and Rose are all higher, I do believe. Even though it is a less revenue generator, it is all ours.

**Cover York's #### (CYA) Qualifyer** I don't know the exact splits between any conferences and bowls and do not know exact revenues and expenses of these bowls, but it is a good approximation of the generalities of the bowl pay outs. I guess I could review their exempt organization tax return and probably get all of the exact numbers, but most would probably be buried too far to get the true numbers.

Why wouldn't the rights fees be the same for the OB if they
