That sounds real impressive.....

until..... even 7 billion.... that would be over 12 years. That's 583 million a year. With 14 teams- that's 41.7 million per school.

I would say bare minimum it's gonna be 5 billion. That would be right at 30 million a year per school.

Delany has said it will be close to $50 M per year per school. This isn't his first rodeo.

That's total distributions. They only project a $10 million bump the first year for the TV part of their distributions according to that Purdue article. Right now the average (current is higher since we are in the latter part of these contracts) is only $136 million a year or about $10 million per school apart from the BTN.

A poster on FTT dug this up and calculated the coverage of the Big 10 last year:
BTN 40 games

ESPN group 59 games
ABC 20
ESPN 6
ESPN2 17
ESPNU 11
ESPNNews 5

As a member of a conference, you are either justifying a reason to stay or justifying a reason to leave. If you throw money out the window, which conference has the most teams stick together? Which teams would move if money and athletics were thrown out the window?

The Pac 12. None of them would have interest in going elsewhere.
