Stop thinking about it so linear. New contracts will be based on the data achieved in the coming years. uga is ok with this because they are forward thinking and see the potential of keeping Auburn on the schedule and creating a potential November SEC East battle most seasons. It's good for the bottom line in the conference and it will be good for uga when it comes to exposure going forward.
Auburn will fix a schedule issue that no other member institution has to put up with and it has nothing to do with wins and loses. It is absolutely about the bottom line and even season Novembers being ridiculously finically imbalanced compared to member institutions.
Your people have seemed to push the competitive disadvantage AU has had to endure with the scheduling, but never the financial strain it has caused.

How come they had more revenue in '18 than '17?

It's only a strain on Auburn. Everyone keeps asking why uga and the SEC would consider doing it...the answer is the potential dollars made off late season division defacto play in SEC title games.
