SEC made $455M in revenue, Big 12 “little north of $250M" past year, sources told @ESPN

Take some time to soak in those sweet, sweet dollar signs.
Done?
Good, because the reaction is just fantastic (and ongoing).
As I'm writing my final projections on SEC distribution this year -- it was $31.7 -- @McMurphyESPN reports $31.4 million is the number.

That SEC haul is after only 9+ months of the network and minus a host of one-time startup costs. So next year? https://t.co/C6P7wa5z5Y

Basically, the SEC and the Big Ten can grow their piles from this point forward. Everyone else just looking up.

So we probably need a new name. Power 5 isn't really accurate now. Maybe Titanic Two?

SEC Network cash further confirms Big 12 missing out on a Big 12 network. Wouldn't be as much, but more than schools make on their own.

Hard to blame Texas for taking guaranteed cash from ESPN for two decades, but no question that LHN hasn't become what it hoped so far.

Adjusting for number of teams, Big 12 should have made $325 mil to keep up. https://t.co/Xn4f9uDxzE

@McMurphyESPN @espn Texas A&M seems to have made the right choice.

@McMurphyESPN Oh gosh... If Big 12 is not livid about this, I am speechless...WOW!
