Thanks to the successful debut of the SEC Network as well as the lucrative College Football Playoff, the conference generated an NCAA-record $455.8 million in revenue in 2014-15. The league's revenue was $309.6 million last year.

That means the SEC will distribute $31.2 million to each of its 14 schools, a figure that does not include $19 million in bowl revenue.

If I remember right, the atheletic department gives the academic side 5 - 10 million every year....we have one of the few atheletic programs in the country that actually makes money...

That's why schools want to be in SEC even if it meant an arse whooping all year long in every sport

Vandy won baseball NC last year. Got no problem with it. Hope they get better with their share

It's amazing to think that the SEC is a half billion dollar revenue a year entity.

You're right, LSU should go independent.

Why such a dramatic response? I'm not advocating Vandy receiving zero monies but it's no secret the LSU bama game earns significantly more ad dollars than nearly all other SEC games.

The academic side will be lucky to see 10% of that.

The SEC is a collective, communal entity. If the SEC were to be selective with their distributions, that would be asking for trouble.

I wasn't trying to be dramatic, I just figured you were trolling.

Why should athletics pay for academics?

I think that's some murky territory. If the AD is in the black independently, it has no responsibility to pay the University. It's not the AD's responsibility to fund the University.

I don't know. We always bitch about day games but essentially we are just earning other schools more money. No company will buy an ad to watch Kentucky vs Vandy at 2:30 on CBS.

IMO the teams who bring in the most should earn the most.

TV market share for the sec is so much higher than it was in the 90s. But yeah we have sucked at basketball lately. I would have no problem with Kentucky receiving substantially more TV money than us.
