The SEC's federal tax return showed revenues of more than $314 million for the fiscal year 2012-2013 -- a record figure for the league and some $24 million than the conference itself projected last spring. But it's not quite enough to match the Big Ten ... yet.

The SEC disclosed this publically months ago. Distributions averaged $20.7 million per school, with the range from $19.5 million for A&M, $19.6 million for Missouri to $21.3 for the top school in distributions, with the 12 older members all around $21 million.
actually you are talking about the 2013 distributions for the fiscal year 2012 as the article mentions
the 20.7 million was distributed in May 2013 at the 2013 annual meeting and it was for fiscal year 2012 which is from Sept. 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012
this article is discussing the money from fiscal year 2013 which is from Sept. 1. 2012 until August 31, 2013 and then is distributed in 2014 most likely in May (so pretty soon)
you are correct that it does not include an amount for running the conference being cut out, but it is not the money from the 20.7 million distribution in May 2013
also the article is poorly written in that it pretends that MU and A&M made a great deal more money (about 7 million more) last May over what they would have made in the Big 12 when the reality is the Big 12 had a major jump over the prior year for all their teams and when it was all said and done A&M and MU made a fair amount less than they would have made if they had stayed in the Big 12 and that is NOT because of them having to leave money with the Big 12
it is because they took a lesser share in the SEC, the Big 12 had a major jump in revenues because of a new tier 2 TV contract with Fox and the Big 12 was splitting it 10 ways not 14 (or partially 14)
so while A&M and MU did make 7 million more than the prior year in the big 12 all the teams left in the big 12 made even more than 7 million over the prior year and the long term Big 12 teams made even more than that because of the lesser shares of TCU and WVU
it will be a number of years before MU and A&M come close to breaking even on the move to the SEC from a conference payout point of view when you calculate in the money they had to leave, the lesser shares they take, the fact that the Big 10 splits money by 10 especially football playoff and Sugar Bowl money and the fact that the Big 12 is dealing with new TV contracts tier 2 that paid off last year and tier 1 that kicks in this year and when you look at what a 3rd tier network might have been worth for A&M and MU they might never financially break even in the SEC especially over the life of the current deals
