Sources: FSU, Clemson expected to reach settlement with ACC
Florida State and Clemson will vote Tuesday on an agreement that would ultimately result in the settlement of four ongoing lawsuits between the schools and the ACC and a new revenue-distribution strategy that would solidify the conference's membership for the near future, sources told ESPN on Monday.
The ACC board of directors is scheduled to hold a call Tuesday to go over the settlement terms. In addition, Florida State and Clemson have both called board meetings to present the terms at noon ET Tuesday. All three boards must agree to the settlement for it to move forward, but sources throughout the league expect a deal to be reached.
According to sources, the settlement includes two key objectives: establishing a new revenue-distribution model based on viewership and a change in the financial penalties for exiting the league's grant of rights before its conclusion in June 2036.
This new revenue-distribution model -- or "brand initiative" -- is based on a five-year rolling average of TV ratings, though some logistics of this formula remain tricky, including how to properly average games on the unrated ACC Network or other subscription channels. The brand initiative will be funded through a split in the league's TV revenue, with 40% distributed evenly among the 14 longstanding members and 60% going toward the brand initiative and distributed based on TV ratings.
Top earners are expected to net an additional $15 million or more, according to sources, while some schools will see a net reduction in annual payout of up to about $7 million annually, an acceptable loss, according to several administrators at schools likely to be impacted, in exchange for some near-term stability.

Just sayin': Besides getting a new revenue distribution model based on viewership and a change in financial penalties for exiting after 2023; both (i.e. Clemson and Free Shoes) undoubtedly came to the realization that no other conference wanted them.

A picture I took in York back in 2006. My wife had a convention in Birmingham and she thought it would be fun to rent a car and explore England. I had never driven on the left side of the road and GPS didn't really exist but I somehow managed. That's not to say that there wasn't a few harrowing moments of me getting lost in Birmingham, looking the wrong way before pulling out onto the street or going north when I should have went south. It was a great experience. It was one of those things that if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger.

Karlos May commits to Ohio State: Why the 2027 DL class could top historic 2021 group
Ohio State may have the backbone of yet another national champion-caliber defensive front after adding Karlos May.
The Ohio State Buckeyes did it again with the commitment of 4-star defensive tackle Karlos May. Not only is the program's Alabama pipeline strengthened with yet another recruit from the Yellowhammer State spurning the Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers for the Scarlet and Gray, but the Buckeyes have found their final infinity stone up front.
May is a one-technique who could also be a three-tech, but he's someone who complements the program's 2027 group nicely. Marcus Fakatou is a five-tech, while DJ Jacobs and Wyatt Smith are edge-rushers by trade.
As Cleveland.com's Andrew Gillis notes, the May commitment gives Ohio State's 2027 high school class perhaps the best group of DL since the 2021 cycle. That class had J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams, and Mike Hall, which was the crux of an eventual championship during the 2024/2025 CFP.
"The addition of May gives Ohio State not only one of the best defensive line classes in the country, but multiple prospects who can fill a host of different roles. After a handful of tackle additions last cycle, the Buckeyes now have at least one in 2027," Gillis wrote. "Ohio State’s defensive line class is likely complete with the four additions, as May was the last piece to the puzzle for defensive line coach Larry Johnson.
"Now, the Buckeyes seem to have a class that rivals the 2021 cycle that brought the team J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams and Mike Hall. All four were drafted by NFL teams, and three of those four were around for a national title. It was also the backbone of Ryan Day’s best class while at Ohio State...The Buckeyes are hoping that May’s addition to the class can give them the same results."
OSU's 2027 class will be in a better place to contribute immediately than the 2021 class
That 2021 class was arguably held back by then-defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, whose system is notoriously difficult to grasp right away. While the results obviously came after a few years, there's no doubt that Matt Patricia could've had those guys contributing sooner if he were the DC instead. Patricia's defensive philosophies focus on his players' talents, and that group was clearly special considering their NFL trajectories..
