So What the Heck Does This Mean? It Means the Following Pairs Earn the SEC More:
The pair are averaged for 1 value that must exceed $594,451,000
1. Texas & Oklahoma: $1,190,195,500
2. Texas & Kansas: $847,127,500
3. Texas & Kansas State: $826,813,500
4. Texas & Iowa State: $789,998,500
5. Texas & Texas Tech: $785,257,500
6. Oklahoma & Kansas: $717,099,000
7. Oklahoma & Oklahoma State: $706,830,000
8. Oklahoma & Kansas State: $696,785,000
So if you want to talk about workable pairs there they are.
And just maybe if Kansas and Oklahoma are headed to the Big 10 then Texas and any of the top 5 pairings can earn the SEC even more!
Now I want everyone to take some time and look at these numbers. This is what matters.
The attendance numbers translate into travel revenue and are illustrative of what to expect in the way of a TV following and indicative of economic impact numbers.
Gross Total Revenue shows not only what the school has made from ticket sales, concessions, merchandise sales, licensing fees, all forms of media, and donations for tickets, and donations in general, but it is highly reflective of the overall strength of a program and more importantly its likely longevity.
The Football and Basketball Impact numbers from the WSJ show how much impact economically that the brand has in its region. You will note how low Duke's and WVU's numbers are. Sure they have good product, but that doesn't seem to translate into the ability of others to make money off of them which means low interest in advertising which unfortunately drives the TV revenue bus.
I also want you to note just how damned low and insignificant the Basketball money truly is. And furthermore note the SEC's average here versus some of those schools from "basketball" conferences. This is why Kansas, North Carolina, Virginia and Duke just aren't worth the effort for athletic revenue.
Now the Presidents may one day like to have their association and perhaps they get added at some point for that. But from a sports revenue standpoint there are only two teams in the Big 12 we profit by adding and only two in the ACC that are potentially profitable: Texas and Oklahoma who are so profitable they could each bring a tag along and Clemson and Florida State who might make it in on their own steam.
And that boys and girls is the long and short of realignment prospects that the SEC would be interested in.
