Does espn have or not have a MULTI YEAR MULTI BILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT with the sec? Stop acting like you don't know what's going on. Every Conference has a multi-year deal with ESPN. More people are interested in LSU vs Bama, Georgia vs Florida, and even Ole Miss vs Miss St than Kansas vs Tech or Okie St vs Iowa St. The only big 12 game that draws big TV numbers is the Red river game. The PAC has a better TV deal than the Big 12-2 which is why OU and UT are moving to the SEC.
Pac-12
A 12-year, $3 billion contract with Fox and ESPN that pays each school about $21 million annually expires in the summer of 2024.
SEC
ESPN will be the exclusive home of SEC football and men’s basketball starting in 2024. The 10-year contract reportedly will be worth more than $300 million annually for the league; that is on top of the current deal with ESPN (that one also ends in 2034) that includes the televising of certain football and basketball games and the SEC Network. Consider that the current deal with CBS is worth $55 million a year. And consider that SEC expansion almost certainly will lead to a re-opening of negotiations. (Under that new ESPN deal, the 14 member schools would’ve expected to receive about $40 million a year solely from the league’s TV deal. In the 2018-19 fiscal year, each SEC school received about $44 million total from the SEC’s entire revenue distribution system.)
Big 12
The league is in the midst of a 13-year deal with ESPN and Fox that ends in 2025, and reports earlier this year said the networks were not interested in early renegotiations. That is one of the reasons Oklahoma and Texas are leaving the league. The current deal pays the 10-school league about $200 million annually.
Big Ten
The league is in the middle of a six-year, $2.64 billion deal with Fox and ESPN that expires in 2023 and currently makes it the lead dog in annual TV revenue. The league gets about $440 million a year in TV money (including from the Fox-run Big Ten Network), meaning each of the 14 schools receives about $31.4 million. With CBS losing its SEC deal, might that network want a piece of Big Ten football? Negotiations for the league’s next TV contract will be mighty interesting.
ACC
The league’s 20-year top-tier deal with ESPN runs through 2036. It pays about $240 million annually, meaning each of the 14 schools gets about $17 million.
