Over $8 billion, could eventually reach over $10 billion based on future expansion.

Agreed, but their production quality is head and shoulders better than ESPN.

It used to be. ESPN has caught up in recent years. If you get the Fowler or McDonough teams, you're getting a broadcast that's every bit as good as CBS. That said, they need to step up their game on the 3 tier and SECN games.

No more Beth Mowins and the other big goober that called the game with her for UT vs KY last season.

So if I understand correctly - without factoring in the shared bowl revenue, shared CFP revenue, shared NCAA tournament revenue, conference championship game revenue, ticket revenues, etc, that each school will also receive yearly - that would currently come to each of the 16 schools plus the conference offices (it would get divided 17 ways) receiving $470.5 Million over that 7 years, or around $67.2 Million per year.

And that’s not factoring in how further expansion (caveat: as long as the team actually brings significant TV market/media/footprint value) would increase everything and result in higher amounts for everyone involved

McDonough was on CBS for several years. Many years ago..when that kid from Arkansas stumbled & fumbled, I can still remember the call like I heard it yesterday.

The Big10 has all the major TV areas covered and it doesn't hurt yhat they have the largest fanbase in Ohio State (by far) and also the largest alumni base in Ohio State.

Do they? Dallas, Houston, Austin, Nashville, Memphis, Birmingham, New Orleans, Miami, Jacksonville, Atlanta... they may not be as big as NYC and LA, but they are far better media markets for college football.
