Tax filings: ACC paid average of $47.1M to full-share member schools, Big 12 paid average of $39.5M
The ACC and Big 12 each set revenue records, but payouts still trail the Big Ten and SEC as new distribution rules take hold.
- In annual tax filings this month, The Atlantic Coast Conference reported about $826.5 million in revenue for a sixth straight record year, while the Big 12 reported $610.9 million.
- Despite these gains, both leagues continue to lag behind the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, which each crossed the $1 billion mark in total revenue for the same season.
- Commissioner Jim Phillips championed a new "success initiative" for the ACC, which paid an average of nearly $47.1 million to 14 full-share members, including a $55.1 million payout for Clemson.
- Brett Yormark's Big 12 distributed payouts ranging between $37.9 million and $43 million to new additions Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah, with the league average at around $39.5 million.
- The ACC revamped its revenue-distribution plan to factor in TV viewership, though the financial impact of this change will not appear until the 2025-26 season tax filing next year.
