According to figures released this afternoon, the conference generated $209 million in revenue for the 2009-2010 school year. With each member of the school receiving an even split of the pot, that means that every school will receive in the neighborhood of $17.4 million apiece, minus the $50 annual dues each pays to the conference, of course.
For 2008-2009, the total revenue was $132.5 million, with each school receiving $11.1 million. By our calculations, that's a nearly 57-percent increase per institution.
Of course, each member of the Big Ten will reportedly receive $22 million for the same time frame, but there's little doubt that, on the field and at the bank, the SEC remains the premier conference in the country.
