Of course they have a bigger TV deal.
The Midwest fricking sucks. Those corned rubes are glued to their televisions when it’s -30 degrees outside in whatever humdrum suburb of whatever crap city they live in.
People who live on the coast or in cities like Dallas, ATL, Nashville, Houston, etc. have better things to do in 75 degree weather than watch 24 straight hours of football.
They’ll get more eyeballs because their lives suck outside of Saturday.

Big Ten: 16 million more per team annually than SEC and they get to negotiate a new and bigger deal 4 years earlier than the SEC. Plus exposure on CBS, FOX, and NBC.
The SEC’s deal is so bad, we are only getting 19 million more per team than what the Big 12 is getting. How on earth does a league with Alabama, Texas, OU, LSU, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, and aTm only get 19 mil more than a league whose best program is TCU?
Sankey made a massive mistake in signing this new deal just before adding OU and Texas. All ESPN is giving us is pro rata value for adding two of the top 10 brands in football.
Another long term shitty deal we will regret for a decade just like the old CBS deal paying us pennies for the most marketable games in the nation each week.
It's basically a tale of two bets, the Big 10's bet paid off better.
The Big 10 went with a shorter term deal thinking that media rights would continue to increase in value.
The SEC went with a longer term deal in order to get ESPN on lockdown thinking that their rights had just about reached maximum value.
The Big 10 had the right of it--these rights are continuing to escalate in value. You won't see any more long term deals like the SEC and ACC made. That's over.

So
What are the deals?
Op says SEC got crushed.
Others say we are fine.

It’s a 2 dog race. SEC will pull ahead in a few years. Then big 10 will re-up again. No one else will be close.

Say what?
The B1G also has an escalation clause for adding new teams that the SEC does not have.
Yep the Big 10 will be rolling ibn money like the SEC is rolling in national titles.

Maybe, maybe not. With the rapid way the cable and streaming business is changing, who knows what will be in the future. I do think there is a critical mass past which the rights won't expand except maybe with inflammation. There is only so much ad space available to sell and only so many teams a conference can have before the bonds break down.
