One sports television source not directly affiliated with the SEC or the deal estimates an eventual worth of around $400 million per year in SEC television revenue from ESPN and CBS (which pays $55 million per year). That'd be $28.5 million per team before factoring in bowl game earnings or NCAA credits.
It's just going to get tougher and tougher for us to compete in football with all this. CBS shows the same games year after year- keeping those brands at the top year after year. At least we got thrown a Thanksgiving bone
On one hand, the money has been great in separating us from the little guys in college football- but it's widening the gap between the top half of the SEC and the bottom
