Does the SECN receive more per subscriber in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee?

The answer is no.

Obviously, the SECN would get a bump in per subscriber revenue in the State of Oklahoma. However, it isn't enough to justify the additional payout and would therefore decrease overall payouts per school. They simply do not have the population to drive incremental revenue.

So let's say that SECN subscribers increase by 5 million subscribers after OU is added to the conference. The SECN does not profit from this at all? I am legitimately asking because I am not familiar with the contract.

I just looked it up. The SECN receives $1.40 per subscriber per month within the SEC footprint and $0.25 per subscriber per month outside the SEC footprint. So, to answer my own question, if the addition of OU and Ok St add and additional 5 million subscribers in Texas, that's an additional $7 million per month in revenue or an additional $84 million per year.
