This should bump things up to around $24 million/school.
The rest of the potential bump would come from the creation of an SEC network, which Slive plans to do with the increased TV markets.
I think $30-40 million is an extremely high estimate. Something like $30 million total is more likely when all is said and done.
It's hard to project on these contracts, though. A lot of moving parts.

If you had said $30 million total, I could see that.
