Big Ten payouts to hit $25.7 million per school
May 6, 2013 10:35 AM
Big Ten schools can expect a record $25.7 million payout from the conference this year, including $7.6 million from the Big Ten Network, according to figures obtained from the University of Illinois.
The Big Ten continues to distribute more revenue than any conference in the country, but the Southeastern Conference could be a couple of years from claiming that bragging right with the creation of a network in conjunction with ESPN.
Last year Illinois received $24.6 million, including a record $8.1 million from BTN. Annual figures are fairly consistent throughout the league, which has a balanced revenue sharing system.
