For now, the Big Ten is still the top dog when it comes to revenue generation in all of college athletics.
According to a report in the St Louis Post-Dispatch, each school (minus Nebraska) will receive $25.7 million from the conference.
The ESPN/SEC deal is expected to be worth more, but the Big Ten is probably a couple years away from announcing its new rights packages. ESPN/ABC will still want to bid on the B1G inventory, but look for Fox to be a big time player this time around which could drive up the rates the B1G gets. Before it's all said and done and when you account for the equity position each B1G school holds in the BTN, there's still no better financial deal around than you will find in the Big Ten.
