re: SEC Revenue sharing - Still don't understand it.

First, the numbers in the list you linked are from the prior year, which was heavily affect by the Big12 money A&M had to forego as part of their decision to leave the conference.

Ok, let's look at prior years.
2009-2010 revenue: $71.8 million
2010-2011 revenue: $75 Million
2011-2012 revenue: $79 million
2012-2013 revenue (first year in SEC): $119 million
2013-2014 revenue: $93 million

So it looks like TAMU's revenues was more than partly affected by the sharing of conference revenue. I don't really see a drop off from TAMU losing out on the Big 12 money in 2011-2012 since TAMU's revenue increased in the year it left.

This thread is about SEC revenue and how it is shared, not the revenue of individual programs, which is only partly affected by the sharing of conference revenue.

TAMU went from low to mid $70 million per year total AD revenue to $119 and 93 million per year after it joined the SEC. TAMU has benefited dramatically from revenue sharing. Before joining the SEC, TAMU's revenue was half of Texas's budget. Partly affected? More like almost 30% increase affected.

I should also add this: when the fat SEC network checks start coming in, you bitches better thank A&M for bringing in about 1/4 of that.

More like you'd better thank the SEC for letting you join in the spoils. The SEC was more worried about the Texas television market than Texas A&M. TAMU has benefited more from the deal than the SEC as a whole has thus far.
