Will be interesting to revisit this in one year and see where things sit.
Money from the SEC network is likely not going to be as huge as some think, but $8-12 million in payouts looks like a reasonable estimate IF ESPN gets it on TWC and Comcast as expected.
Schools like ISU and KU and KSU should be thanking the schools that left for changing the status quo... instituting equal sharing of revenue and thereby increasing those schools' pots from Tier 1 and Tier 2 rights.
There's also the increased revenue you're getting from bringing in junior members TCU and WVU, and their decreased initial stakes.
You're welcome.
