Pac-12 Conference: FY14 revenues, expenses and per-school distributions
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegespor...ributions/


1) Breakdown of revenue:

TV rights: $282 million
Bowls: $39.5 million
NCAA tournament: $28 million
Advertising: $13 million
Other: $1.5 million
Total: $364 million
Investment: $500,000
Other (gifts, grants): $9.5 million
Grand total: $374 million

(Last year: $334 million)

2) Pac-12 Networks

The conference reported $106.8 million in income for the Pac12Nets on the Schedule R portion of the 990s. That’s up from xxx for FY13 and makes sense with back-of-the-envelop math:

11 million subscribers x $0.8 per sub x 12 months = $105.6 million

The league, unfortunately, does not list expenses specific to the Pac12Nets. But based on my reading of the documents — in particular the year-over-year comps of revenue and expenses — we could reasonably assume the cost of the Pac12Nets in FY14 to be in the $85 million range.

That’s up approx $10 million (my estimate) from FY13, the increase coming from the jump in the number of studio shows and live events.

And we know, based on comments from league officials, that the Pac12Nets distributed approx $1 million to each school in FY14 — and will do the same in FY15.

3) Distributions to the schools:



Stanford: $21,361,500
Cal: $21,330,591
Washington: $21,327,870
USC: $21,312,031
UCLA: $21,295,981
Arizona State $21,286,123
Washington State: $21,266,375
Arizona: $21,247,077
Oregon State: $21,238,461
Oregon$ 21,224,846
Colorado: $21,173,032
Utah: $16,060,398 (becomes full member in FY15)

* Please note: The distributions are, to an extent, gross numbers.

When the league pooled all its media rights before sitting down to negotiate with ESPN and FOX, it was forced to buy back Tier 3 media rights that had been sold off to local sponsors and broadcast outlets.

The buyback amounts vary by school but are believed to be, on average, approximately $750,000. That is not included in the distributions listed on the 990s.

The conference is withholding money from The figures are not identical because of up.

4) Comparisons to other major conferences.

All figures are for FY14. It’s important to compare apples to apples, even if the apples are 11 months old.

*** By total revenue

Pac-12: $374 million
Big 10: $339 million
SEC: $326 million
ACC: $292 million
Big 12: $226 million

*** By percentage of total revenue distributed to schools

Big Ten: 93.4%
SEC: 90.2%
Big 12: 87%
Pac-12: 67% (see below)
ACC: unknown

*** By per-school income

Big Ten: $27.5 (for continuing members)
Big 12: $23 million
Pac-12: $21 million (does not include Tier 3 withholdings of approx 750k)
SEC: $21 million
ACC: $21 million

5) Expenses

Commissioner Larry Scott earned approx $3.5 million in calendar year 2013 (individual compensation is reported for calendar years, not fiscal years). That’s up slightly from ’12 and, once again, makes him the highest-paid commissioner.

Additionally, nine other employees earned more than $400,000 in calendar year 2013. My guess is that far exceeds the number of highly-paid staffers at the other conferences. Scott runs the Pac-12 like a professional sports league, and that includes staff compensation
