Do you just do this to be annoying? Of course there is a contract, the games are on TV, but the agreement is private because it is between the Big 10 (not the universities) and private broadcasters who would not want competitors to be able to see said contracts. Where you are bringing up numbers, you are always referring to financial statements that are a couple of years old and don’t reflect todays numbers, and you continue to undercount the full value of all the Big 10 revenue streams. In the report you cite, you note the $45.6 million of media revenue, but ignore the $8 million of Big 10 bowl revenues, and other Big 10 revenues of $10.6 million, for a total of roughly $64 million, before the new media deal and the College Football playoff revenue kick in. If you will recall, in Rutgers last year in the AAC in 2013, we earned $8 million of conference revenue, so joining the Big 10 has increased our conference revenues by 800% in 11 years. Conservatively we will get at least an additional $13 million a year from the college football playoffs, in addition to whatever the increase will be in the new conference media deal.
