I can't get the article to load... but the first thing that comes to my mind is MILLIONS and MILLIONS. All of the revenue generated by TV contracts/sponsorships/merchandise is mind-blowing I'm sure. I doubt any other conference competes really. There are alot of Big Ten games on cable, but I doubt its close. I would like to read the article. I will keep trying to load it.

(Both deals run through 2023-2024.)
