re: Expansion Talk

The SEC had a payout of in 533 million in non cbs revenue in 2021 aka the money made from the SEC network. If we add on the new 300M per year contract with ESPN for game of the week that total comes to 833M per year or 59.5 per school per year. Adding in Texas and OU I would expect would increase this number to about 65ish million per school? Right?v

Adding OU and Texas will not increase the pro rata number for the other schools during the life of the current contract (which runs through 2034). I haven't checked your numbers, but I will caution you that it's a moving target, as the SEC's numbers under the existing contracts do go up somewhat over time. The contract apparently included a pro rata to clause to ensure that adding teams to the conference would result in compensation paid increasing enough that existing schools would not see their payments go down if new schools were added (and that new schools would be paid at the same rate).
