Answer :

Final answer:

The false statement is that the ACC was the first conference to distribute an average of $10 million to its member institutions in a fiscal year.

Explanation:

The false statement regarding NCAA member conferences and their institutions is statement number 2: The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) was the first conference in NCAA history to distribute an average of $10 million to its member institutions in a fiscal year.



In reality, the ACC was not the first conference to distribute such a large sum to its member institutions. Other conferences have also distributed substantial amounts of money to their members. For example, the Big Ten Conference distributed over $50 million to each of its member institutions in 2018.



Therefore, statement number 2 is false.
