How much additional money did/will the SEC network generate by including Texas sets within the "footprint"?

Calculate that and then you can find out just how much Texas A&M is worth to the SEC. My guess is that it's going to be a very large number, much larger than the 1/14th share they pull out.

They're really fun to mess with because they rank pretty high in the sensitivity charts after being beat around like a rag doll for the better part of the last decade, but they bring tons of money into the conference. If they brought nothing else (and they bring a whole lot of something else), they were a good add because of that.

As an LSU fan, they're good for a W every year and they occasionally beat bama. Sounds like a win-win for us.

Or the bigger question:

How much more can we add to the SEC bottom line with merchandise sales, away game ticket sales, etc.
