Projected Conference Revenue Distributions thru 2024

[YouSayPotato]

Here is a projection of conference revenue. The B1G and SEC are neck-and-neck for 2022 and 2023 but the B1G makes a HUGE jump in 2024.

The Pac-12 and ACC are really sucking that hind teat. Expect to see Colorado and/or some ACC schools (GT/Cuse/Pitt/UVA) try to join the B1G in the next couple of years.

Thanks. Interesting stuff, I think the SEC hopes Texas and Ok in 2024 brings them closer up to snuff. Still, over a 4 year period the BT are getting a quarter of a billion dollars EACH. That drops to every 3 years with the new contract. Why sell tickets? Why have support organizations like JPC? Crazy money.

I know some of that money is from new contracts with ESPN and others, but the Big Ten was incredibly ahead of their time by starting the Big Ten Network years ago. It has paid big dividends for the conference and the conference teams.

Secondarily…the fan bases that would tune in and actually support it. The BIG12 and PAC12 just don’t have that kind of support or viewership.
Also crazy to think that up until 2 years ago a decent portion of ACC hoops and football games were local/regional carriers and partners only.

You may be right but I question that assumption. Texas has two issues. A&M already had the State of Texas within the SECN footprint so there is no expansion there. And the Longhorn Network is no longer a factor.

Oklahoma does not add much to the SECN footprint. Thus the slightly expanded SEC pie now gets cut into 16 pieces instead of 14.

The geographical TV market play is not in play like it used to be. Delaney used it to force the carriers to add the BTN to their lineups. It was about subscriptions for him and it almost had to be as the BTN was the first of its kind. With streaming I think it goes back to basics and just strong viewership will drive $ and Texas and Oklahoma will do that.

with big ten potential expansions they no longer talk about the larger markets like Pittsburgh and Atlanta (Ga Tech). They now talk about programs that will drive the most viewers (like Iowa state despite Iowa already being here).
