Here is the problem with future expansion..

Each SEC school will be making about $60 million per year in 2022 and about $75 million per year in 2025 & forward. In order to bring two teams in, they would have to be worth a combined $150 million per year just to keep everyone at the 2025 payout.

Is it worth it to add more teams without an increase in payout? I’m assuming the answer is no, but perhaps there are other factors in play there.

Realistically, I would think the SEC would only do it for an increased payout. 10% seems reasonable.. $7.5 million x 18 teams = $135 million extra

That would mean the two new teams needed to be worth $285 million or more combined.

There are likely only four teams that could bring that kind of value..

Notre Dame
USC
Ohio State
Michigan

One or more of those paired with Clemson and/or Florida State might get there.. but likely not just the two of them by themselves.

Just my opinion.

this is what all of this is about, but you forgot 1 thing, the SEC itself gets an equal share. so its actually currently 17 shares when Tx/OU join.

the comment about streaming is because, traditional viewership is coming to an end in the next 10-15 years. No longer will things like Directtv or dish or cable tv exist in its current format. Direct will not be able to say they are charging $3 for person living in the SEC footprint adn only $1 for those outside.

it will be al a carte and most will be subscription streaming services. Think about the difference in TV viewership habits and internet habits from 2005 until present day.....totally different and there will continue to be seismic shifts to streaming only.
