Each school in the B1G gets about 25 million dollars a year from the BTN....and with the addition of hockey to the conference next year, each school with hockey is going to get 2 million more. LAX is also going to be a B1G sport next year (or the year after) don't be shocked if that adds a million or two to their athletic department. I know you said ACC, but if 75% of that goes to football, that still leaves roughly 6.75 million dollars for the rest of the athletic department
Cold is right on the money here...pause to see if I bust into flames for saying that..........The big time players from the Big East are now heading elsewhere, though stuck in limbo in the AAC for a year or two.
1. Louisville is gone to the ACC next year. I know Casey spent thousands of words saying with L'ville sucks in all aspects of the university a couple months ago...but look at what their athletic department has accomplished in the last 12 months, and look where it is going. 10 years ago they were no different than Houston...they are currently the hottest university there is athletically.
2. UCONN - will be gone as soon as they figure out what they are doing with football. That seems to be the hold up with them.
3. Cinci - will be gone to the B12 sooner rather than later.
4. Rutgers - B10 next year.
That leaves the AAC with CUSA from 3 years ago.
The NBE has litterally all mid-majors (though more widely known mid-majors) and 3 teams from the old Big East that are only really known because of what they accomplished before most of the current recruits were walking. Not just that, a lot of the Big East basketball revenue came from Syracuse, Louisville, UCONN, and Cinci...oh and now there is no BCS money to be used (even if it was only 25% of the money). The Big East got 24 million dollars for Louisville just stepping foot on the Superdome floor for warm ups last year.
It may not be evident right up front, but the money that the PAC12, B12, B10, ACC, and SEC are going to get from this new football set up is going to start to put a big gap between them and the non football/non power conference football schools/conferences. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nc ... s/1762709/

USA Today‘s report says that the rights fees are expected to pay $17 million to each of the 14 conference schools. That means the total deal is worth about $238 million per year, an annual increase of more than $80 million from the previous contract, and $3.6 billion over the contract’s 15 year life. The new deal was expected, given the conference’s recent expansion.
The Big 12 has reportedly agreed to a new deal with ESPN and Fox, said to be worth a combined $2.6 million over 13 years, or about $200 million annually. It’s a smaller annual value than the ACC’s deal, though when split among the Big 12′s ten teams it is worth $20 million per conference member, a cool $3 million more than each ACC school will take home. The Pac-12′s $2.7 billion TV deal takes effect next season and pays $225 million annually, or about $19 million per team. So why did the ACC agree to less per school, especially after offering ESPN a host of expanded rights?
Yeah, that new contract gives each school 17 MILLION MORE DOLLARS PER YEAR yet "experts" don't think it will work and they'll end up like the Big East did.
The B12 is now pulling in 20 million per team
Pac 12 19 million per team
B10 is about 25 million per team
What about the SEC? Surely they won't see a surge in revenue for non-football sports to separate themselves from others in every other sport?
WRONG.
They are about to get the highest pay day yet...by far

So on August 6, 2014, the SEC Network will go to air.
What does that mean for the 14 schools in the Southeastern Conference?
It means money. Lots of money.
According to one report, the new television and digital rights deal between ESPN and the SEC, which runs from 2014-'34, will bring each school in the conference as much as $35 million each fiscal year. Another report estimated about $29 million each year.
Last year, each school received about $20 million under its current rights deal.
Compare that with the Big Ten Conference revenue from its television rights deals, including the Big Ten Network.
Last summer, according to the Big Ten, each team in the league received at least $23.7 million for TV rights and NCAA tournament revenue in fiscal year 2011-'12. A Forbes magazine report listed the conference's TV rights revenue alone at $250 million, 80.6% of its total revenue.
Even if football takes 75 percent of that, the lowest any member of the power 5 conferences is walking away with for the rest of their athletic department is about 5 million...with most being closer to 6 or 7 million. good bye spending any money on womens sports and low level mens sports. The network payout covers that. Lets dump the rest of the resources in football and basketball!
It's not going to be long before those 5 are their own division and the rest of us are left to pick up the pieces and figure out what to do next.
