OT: B10 Revenue Distribution

[rutgersguy1]

From the Athletic article:

In its final year as a 14-member conference, the Big Ten saw its revenue soar to $928 million, with projections to exceed $1 billion during the current 2025 fiscal year, according to the league’s 2024 tax statement.

The league disbursed between $63.26 million and $63.43 million to 12 of its members and $61.52 million to Rutgers and Maryland, which borrowed money from the Big Ten while they were considered non-vested members from 2014 to 2020. Both should obtain full shares in 2027. The 2024 fiscal year concluded on June 30, 2024.

In the same fiscal year, the Southeastern Conference earned $898.75 million and disbursed between $52.35 million and $53.13 million to its 14 full-time members. The SEC also provided new members Oklahoma and Texas with $27.5 million to offset their Big 12 media rights forfeitures

Potentially $1.4B? That's a lot of cheese that the B1G is bringing in.

I guess CBS still having the SEC game of the Week and not having USC/UCLA in resulted in the low payouts... I expected it to be two medium bumps vs a small bump followed by a huge Bump

Great to see that we've closed the revenue gap significantly while still paying back the loans.

we're 2 months away from fiscal 2026 so a little over a year from full share.. and just based on simple math could mean another $10mil already from this past year.

From USA Today article

The Big Ten’s per-school distributions for fiscal 2025 seem likely to be around $75 million for all except Oregon and Washington, whose shares are being phased in over seven years.

Iowa state board of regents budget documents from this past July show that the University of Iowa was projecting $75.2 million in “Athletic Conference” revenue for fiscal 2025.

A University of Wisconsin athletics department budget presentation to a university athletic board committee meeting three weeks ago projected “Conference” revenue of $74.7 million for fiscal 2025 and just under $82.6 million for fiscal 2026, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

$1.4b for just the Big Ten?
Just like the "amateur atheltics" of Bear Bryant.

Yep..pretty much exactly what I posted. RU at 2m less so that's 72,7 (for 25).

72.5 minus 61.5 is 11 more.

Then another 8 to about 80.5 until our full share.

Wonderfull.
