Bowl/SEC Revenue Sharing

[eagleair89]

For those of you who have expressed an interest in how the SEC shares bowl and other revenue, below is a breakdown of how it works:

From P. Marshall:

"Actually, it's not equal. After expenses, bowl money is divided 14 ways - two shares to the competing school, one share to each other school and one share to the SEC office.

Here's how it works:

The $132.5 million in 2009 was derived from $52 million from football television, $25.4 million from bowls, $14.3 million from the SEC Championship Game, $13.6 million from basketball television, $4.1 million from the men's basketball tournament and $23.1 million from NCAA Championships.

Not included in the total was $11.6 million retained by participating schools in bowl games and $744,000 divided among the 12 schools by the NCAA for academic enhancement."

Shouldn't the tv revenue numbers be higher this years since we sold our souls to ESPN?

With 10 bowl teams, the ESPN contract and the fact that revenue shared has increased every year since 1992, probably so........I think the revenue sharing numbers will be released by the SEC after the annual meeting, which I think is still held in Destin sometime in May or June.
