Some believe the combination of the current contract with CBS and the arrival of the SEC Network will produce in the neighborhood of $400 million in revenue annually — about $28.5 million per conference school.


Stated purposefully confusingly in a different manner in this instance -- ignoring tier 2 and bowl revenue to try to make the SEC number seem pedestrian.

In that case, if read specifically, it implies that the SECNetwork, itself, will be worth $335.8million/yr -- since CBS is only worth about $64.2mil with the renegotiation.

In which case, the article realistically believes we'll make well over $40mil/yr with tier 2 and bowl revenue factored in.

Sounds to me like it's tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3. Keep spinning.

Slive would not disclose financial figures, but sports business journalists previously said that such a contract, along with the league’s CBS contract, could provide each league school as much as $28.5 million annually alone in just TV revenue.

The contract calls for ESPN and its various platforms to annually televise approximately 1,000 live events per year, including 450 on the network and 550 distributed digitally. Scheduled annually on the ESPN networks are 45 SEC football games, more than 100 men’s basketball games, 60 women’s basketball games and other events from all of the SEC sports.
