ACC revenue exceeds $400 million in 2014-15
The ACC set a record of $403 million in revenue during the 2014-15 year, a $100 million increase from the previous fiscal year, according to ESPN's Andrea Adelson.
ACC football schools each earned approximately $26.2 million, while Notre Dame, a member in every sport excluding football, brought in $6.2 million. ACC commissioner John Swofford also saw his earnings rise to $2.7 million, a $600,000 personal increase.
The additions of Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Notre Dame in 2013-14 as well as the departure of Maryland a year later, resulted in a spike of $70 million and $31 million earnings for the conference, respectively. Bowl games brought the conference a total of $94.2 million, while television revenue accounted for $217.9 million.
With the addition of a conference network, the ACC could compete with the likes of the SEC and the Big Ten networks.
