Hadn't heard this. New media contract? I'm surprised if what you say is true. Very surprised.

He’s referencing the fact that they don’t have to fund football
Yes. Sounds like a very big bump in their media contract. And you're right, no FB to fund. A big boost to their Basketball programs.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Yeah, some schools don't have to fund football, but they also don't have the revenue that football brings in. It's not like they have an extra $60mill/year to throw at basketball that everyone else spends on football. They don't have that $60mill to begin with.
No football split with NIL and several other factors. Notice teams like St John’s all of the sudden being able to compete
Haha! Cut and paste here:

Yeah they will have to give him a nickname, for sure.
Basketball-only schools don’t need $60 million. The cap is currently around $20 million for revenue sharing
Schools with football will be pressured to give much of that revenue cap to football. Prisoner’s dilemma will drive it.
Meanwhile, Big East schools can put all their revenue sharing into MBB. Pretty easy for them to launder a donor’s NIL/inducement money as revenue sharing. That won’t be $20 million, but it’ll be more than most schools with football will do
The new Big East TV deal increases by $3.5 million to $4 million per year, per school. Most of that can go to revenue sharing..on top of the aforementioned laundered NIL. At places like Creighton, St Johns, UConn etc, basketball getting $10 million, or more, is very feasible
Basketball programs at schools with non-P2 football are especially squeezed out.
The Maryland types of the P2 could choose to spend more on basketball, as the increasing welfare checks from Ohio State football keeps their AD at record revenue levels. Basically, being bad at football on $8 million in salary, rather than bad at football on $14 million in salary
Unfortunately, it only gets more difficult as the cap increases with the P2 revenue. By the end of the 10 years, it was estimated to be $33 million.

I believe a plan is in motion to allow teams like Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, etc... to rope in extra television revenue because those are the schools that draw the greatest number of eyeballs for their televised games. This will relegate the midling and lower echelon teams, in the same conference, to receive less revenue sharing.
The ACC has already implemented tiered revenue sharing where FSU and Clemson are due a larger share based off of program visibility and popularity.

You’ve conflated a couple things
The bad football programs of the P2 will be getting P2 checks regardless. They will be able to fund basketball at a higher level than those with non-P2 football
The only thing that would change this is if the top P2 football were to separate from other P2
But with the CBB postseason up for grabs in 2032, it’s more likely they own that postseason and thus can make more as a conference by having “basketball schools”
The ACC is already instituting tiered revenue sharing in-conference.

Tiered Revenue Sharing Will Forever Change College Sports Conferences
The ACC's new tiered revenue sharing, a product of its settlement with FSU and Clemson, could solve a growing issue for the richer Big Ten and SEC.
