The big question is what the numbers are from this last season, when we were in the ACC and has substantially higher costs from travel and reduced revenue due to our desperation to get into the ACC.   And, more importantly, how much will the university be willing to front going forward.

I would guess broadcast $ is down $10m, football gate down by ~$1m, additional OPEX (including travel) for being in the ACC ~$2m (10% Y/Y increase in OPEX) so in addition to the ~$36m in 2023/24 I'd add on another ~$13m so for 2024/25 I'd predict ~$50m

the biggest expense item in 2023/24 was Tuition, Room & Board + Alston (~$31m) the AD appears to pay full tuition for all the scholarships, I'm not sure this is fair and reasonable given the average student pays far less that full tuition, maybe a more reasonable amount for the AD to pay might be either the average student tuition or the calculated amount each scholarship recipient would have paid if they were a regular student
