I think to get an apples to apples comparison of revenue distribution with the other conferences, you need to add only the tier 3 TV revenue.
Another problem is the numbers need to be accurate. In the above graph, not all the numbers are from the same year. For example, the Big 12 figure of $34.8 million is for 2016-17, but the $40.4 million for the SEC is from 2015-2016.
I totally agree. Comparisons should only include conference payouts plus tier 3 income where it is not included. For this year that is $7.1 million for WVU, $15 million for Texas and I believe around $9 million for Oklahoma. I am not familiar with Iowa State's 3rd tier deal. Could you enlighten us? As far as I'm concerned, the higher the better.
That's still not apples to apples. The $7.1 million is more than just TV money.
