Because of Los Angeles? If not, this doesn't make any sense.

I read where poor little MSU will have a $100 million athletic budget by 2016.

That's insane to me, growing up when we paid Jackie Sherrill $75,000 while he was taking us to bowl games and castrating bulls.

Neither the B1G, and especially not the PAC12, are carried by as many cable/sat providers as the SEC is right out of the chute.

I think, if that's the question you are asking, is why there is such disparity in that regard.

2-Los Angeles (PAC 12)
3-Chicago (Big Ten)
4-Philadelphia (Big Ten)
5-Dallas/FW (SEC)
6-San Francisco (PAC 12)
7-Boston (NONE)
8-Atlanta (SEC)
9-Washington D.C. (NONE)
10-Houston (SEC)

22-Portland (PAC 12)
23-Pittsburgh (Big Ten)
24-Charlotte (NONE)
25-Indianapolis (Big Ten)

Because a vast majority of those 26 million households is within the PAC12 footprint, where the rates are higher. The Big 10 has more households, but a higher percentage is outside of their footprint, meaning a lower subscription rate than within their footprint.
