  • ESPN pays $2.25 billion for SEC sports

    so much for that SEC network

    The SEC’s total payout to its schools in 2007-08 was $63.6 million after the conference’s cut. TV revenue is distributed among the 12 universities and the league; each school received about $5.3 million this past fiscal year. Under the new deal, that annual number could leap to as much as $15 million per school, which is just shy of the projected average revenue Big Ten schools get from their TV deals each year.
    Ah yes, the ingenious ambiguity of "the conference."

    Where the hell does ESPN get all that money from?
