Brought Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC and pissed off a few schools.  Then prematurely signed a 10 year TV Deal with ESPN.  A under valued deal ar that.

The new 3 network deal the Big 10 just pulled off is 7 years for 8 BILLION with everything added. Also took the SEC 3:30 spot on CBS.

So the Big 10 is killing the SEC in money per team and will have a new contract making even more while the SEC will still have 3 years left on its under valued deal

Just a beating Sankey took.  One that CEO/CFO’s in the real world don’t recover from and shouldnt.


So for the next 7 years SEC teams will get approx 43.7 million each in tv money

The next 7 years Big 10 teams will get approx 71.5 million each in tv money


The following 3 years the Big 10 will be working on a new contract (i am sure more than 3 years, but just for comparison sake, just staying at the 3 years that the SEC will still have on it’s contract)   You csn safety assume that a new deal will be more than the previous one, so conservatively lets say 85 million a year for those 3 years.


The SEC will still be getting the same 43.7 million a year for each year of those 3 years.



So in those 10 years each Big 10 team will conservatively make 755 million


Those same 10 years each SEC school will make approx 417 million.


Can you say WOW
Can you say Malpractice


Now before you jump up and down, yes, each SEC School received approx 55 million last year.  But that wasn’t just TV money.  That was revenue




Fireable offense, damn right in my book.



Now I don’t claim to be a expert in this, so if anyone sees a mistake I made on comparing the two conference’s TV deals, let me know.
