Bowl revenues are normally split evenly among conference members, so the ACC takes $34 million and divides it out...still a nice chunk of $$$.

Too bad both Clemson and USC are hellbent on playing FCS teams within the state of South Carolina, I'd love to see G-W play in Williams-Brice or at Death Valley someday.
