I realize that the networks pay the SEC to televise games but how do individual teams report their revenue to the SEC? Does it even matter if aggie collects $6 million a home game and Vandy collects $3 million a home game?
What are teams individual obligatons to report revenue to SEC?
I understand the total intake is distributed equally but I'm curious how teams contribute.

I don't think the schools contribute anything during the regular season. What the SEC earns as a league comes from TV deals, bowl and playoff payouts, SEC title game, and basketball tournament. The networks pay the conference and the conference splits it.
The main way a team's earnings feed the pot is bowls. Each team keeps a set amount for expenses and the rest goes to the conference to split. Don't think they report revenue to the SEC, just to the NCAA. Could be wrong but that's my understanding.

I thought the TV and bowl game money was split but I never thought about the ticket sales being shared. My assumption is that tickets and concessions stay with the school.

Google tells me:
The home team/school retains the revenue from regular-season home game ticket sales. While visiting teams receive a small contractual allotment of tickets to sell to their own fans, the money from those designated visitor ticket sales generally flows according to conference agreements or direct institutional exchanges
All food, drink, and merchandise concession sales inside an SEC stadium belong 100% to the host university or its contracted stadium vendor, rather than the conference.
The Southeastern Conference pools and shares central revenue—such as national television contracts, postseason bowl payouts, the College Football Playoff, and conference championships—and distributes those shared funds evenly (or via weighted shares) back to member universities. Game-day operating revenues like tickets, parking, and concessions remain with the individual school.

They collect a royalty for every SEC chant.

For promotional & management services,...they fundamentally mooch off the league teams. We do it voluntarily. So are you happy with the promotional efforts and management efficiency,.....lately?
