What you made up was what I had told you to expect, roughly about 3 million in the first year of the ACCN. You'll see, once the COVID year is behind us, about another 4 million from the ACCN. So with the next escalator by the time the report for 2021-2 comes out you should be in the neighborhood of 37 million, or roughly where the Big 12 is now at 38. Their escalators total around 1.5 million per year as best as I can figure. So they are going to be at around 40 million. The significant part about the SEC's numbers is that whatever our revenue takes us to with the escalators in 2024 (or any year in between then and now) in order to know what the gap will be all you need do is add 18 million to the SEC's existing number. From 2021-2 until 2023-4 you add another 6 million for escalators. That puts the SEC's first payout under the new contract in 2024-5 at 69.5 million while the ACC's will be around 43 million. There's he difference that will be locked in until 2037 with escalators remaining about the same, unless one, or both, conferences make additions.

Sounds about right. If the new commish has a rabbit up his sleeve he better be ready to pull it out!

There is a rabbit and his name is "Expansion".

Devour the Big12 and go to 20 teams.

Seriously, take the Texas 4 because that's the best way to get UT and add WVU and ask N.D. for a decision to go all in.

The SEC can take the 2 Oklahoma's, Kansas, and either Kansas State or Iowa State and call it a day for the Mouse. Big 12 gone gone and Big 10 out of options.
