When A&M and Mizz were proposed to join the SEC there were quite a few numbers supporting the move that were analyzed to death. Everything from television subscribers to $ per subscriber in member states vs. the rest of the country, preliminary network deal figures, etc. There was a good idea of what the new $ per school was going to be - even if that number was conservative.

Maybe I've just missed it, but it seems there have been very few numbers this go around. Has there been any of that insight? What (if any) numbers are being thrown around? The only one I've seen is the cost of tu/OU leaving the big ?? early (~$85 mil).

It appears that the entire league is being money whipped into voting them in, but what are the estimates and where is it coming from?

According to Clay Travis, the SEC-ESPN deal guarantees the same pro-rata share for "A list" expansion teams. So if the 14 are getting $50mm each, that's guaranteed $100mm more if OU & tu join.

Thank you.

Ok, so no additional $ per school, but not losing money on the current deal through diluted shares.

And then hoping that there's more money on the next round of negotiations. Hmmm - and supposedly that's enough to convince all of the SEC schools...interesting.
