Not positive.... I saw it posted here (by a sip fan) earlier that the BDF didn't keep a full share but rather "kept what they needed to operate."

Bowlsby said the bdf has retained approx. $7M of that in a reserve fund specifically for expected future litigation / legal costs.

Oklahoma State President Burns Hargis, head of the Big 12's board of directors, liked Bowlsby's projection that Big 12 schools will receive $44 million per year in distributions for the 2024-25 school year, the last under existing television rights agreements.


"We're very pleased with the revenue figure. I think we're in a very good place financially," Hargis said. "The disparity, I don't think, is near what that looks like [compared to SEC distributions]. As long as our student-athletes are getting the facilities and the academic support and the full-cost-of-attendance dollars, I think we'll be able to compete just fine. And I don't think our fans will question that."

Wow 27 mil from the conference and that does not include tier 3 rights? That's better than I thought.

The big 12 didn't do so bad did they?

If the Big 12 is distributing $250 million, then does that mean tu gets $25 million plus its $15 million from ESPN for the LHN ($40 million total)?

---

Nope. It means they divide the $250 Million by 11, as the Big 12 office gets a full share...LOL. That equals $22.72 Million. Then the LHN pays the University of Texas around $12 Million in 2015 per the schedule. Of the $12 Million, about $1.5 Million goes to IMG, which leaves the University with $10.5 Million, which it will split evenly between Academics and Athletics. Therefore, the Texas Athletic Department will get a total of $28 Million from its conference and its tv money.

POOR EFFING TSIPS

---

Incorrect. ESPN pays Texas $15M every year. $1.5M goes to IMG, $5M goes to the school (for the first 5 years of the deal) and the athletic department takes in $8.5.

I suggest you go read this.

You do realize that was 3 years ago and those numbers were prorated for that year only?

Then let us fast forward to 2014, shall we?

Securing wider distribution is key for ESPN, particularly because its rights fee increases by 3% annually, which means its LHN investment will only become more expensive. ESPN owes around $11.65 million this year, and its rights fee will surpass the $15 million average payout within the decade.

---

You won't see $15MM until at least 2020, and that is due to the 3% annual escalation. In order to get to a value of $300MM AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT, (because that is what the $300 is based on), and given a 3% escalation over 20 years, paid quarterly at the beginning of each quarter, the total year 1 revenue has to be around $10.9MM, which is exactly what is stated in the contract.
For the dimwit sips that won't read that, $15MM doesn't happen until at least 2020.

---

Please point out anywhere in that article where it says TEXAS doesn't receive $15M. This only talks about ESPN's return on their investment. Please don't post articles if you cant understand them...

---

Wow you're dense, we've pointed out documentation to what TEXAS receives in multiple places.

The "rights fee" as mentioned above is what ESPN owes Texas for the rights to the content. Yes, that is what a rights fee means.

Ultimately read the contract. <-----this is called a link. See, if you click on it, it will take you to another website. There you can see the contract! Neato! It states what gets paid out to TEXAS. Y1 payment to TEXAS is $10.98M with a 3% annual escalator. That cannot be disputed. IMG's share is 14% of this payment. Yea, I know...math is hard. So is reading.

The $15M number comes from $300M averaged over 20 years. (let me help: 300/20=15). That's why its usually referenced as "average" payout. Like the article above referenced. Here - maybe this will help you out: http://www.mathsisfun.com/mean.html

And that is gross - it doesn't take into account IMG's share nor the fact that it graduates annually by 3% from a starting point under $11M.

I'm beginning to feel bad for continuing to beat up on the simple-minded.

Simply put, the most texas athletics will ever receive from the LHN is $8.53M
The least A&M athletics will ever receive from the SECN is $10.2M
