B1G = Lots of people live in the footprint and lots of living alumni
I get your point but College Football Fans aren't just built from Alumni. Some of it is just College Football fans in general that love to see good football.
SEC obviously gives that year in and year out. The TV ratings with SEC competition trumps BIG10 over the last 10-15 years. Better competition means better ratings.

Correct, but math is fact not fiction
Say State averages 20K students a year and Ohio State averages 50K
In 10 years that is 200K vs 500K, in 20 it is 400K vs 1 Million
In addition it is population of a state, most of the B1G footprint are in the Top 5 to Top 15 of the 50 states. Those folks are going to see folks in their area get on TV so the eyeballs add up.
TX is #2 but split between SEC and B12
FL is #3 but split between SEC and ACC
GA is #8 but split between SEC and ACC
#6, #7, #10 are all B1G monopolies
#4 and #5 are near B1G monopolies
With looking I am guessing most of the SEC schools (especially where they have the monopoly) are in the Top 20's and Top 30's
