Regarding payouts to old and new Big Ten Schools...
Big Ten schools projected to make $45 million with new TV deal
While it hasn't had the most success on the field in recent years as its conference counterparts, there's one area the Big Ten has been able to maintain its dominance: revenue. Thanks to the Big Ten Network Big Ten schools have been bringing in more money annually than schools around the country -- there's a reason every conference wants a network now -- and the conference doesn't expect that to change.
According to a report in the Journal & Courier, the Big Ten projects that its revenues will continue to grow each year, and with a new television deal on the way, the conference expects 12 of its 14 schools to pull in approximately $44.5 million during the 2017-18 school year. That would be the first year of the new television deal.
The two Big Ten schools who won't bring in the full amount are the newest members, Maryland and Rutgers. Like Nebraska, the new Big Ten members won't receive their full share until after spending six years in the Big Ten.
While the $44.5 million payoff is still four years away, don't worry, Big Ten schools won't go broke before then. The conference projects that 11 -- Nebraska doesn't get its full share until 2017-18 -- schools will pull in $27 million this year, $30.9 million in 2014-15, $34.1 million in 2015-16 and $35.5 million in 2016-17.
According to CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd, the $44.5 million figure is based on a new primary rights deal and other conference distribution for the conference to be in place following the 2016-17. Maryland and Rutgers join the league July 1.
The Big Ten is the last major conference to renegotiate its rights fees in the current cycle. The chase for those rights fees was largely responsible for the upheaval caused by conference realignment. That period is thought to be over for now. The other four BCS leagues have deals in place that extend out to at least the mid 2020s.
