I keep hearing the numbers $17 million and $34 million being thrown around. Is that TV contract money? We currently get $17 million per school and it could possibly go up to $34 million if the SEC expands?

Do I have this right?

And what do aTm, FSU, Mizzou, and Clemson currently get compared to those numbers?

I'm hearing with just A&M it jumps to $25. With the 14th team, especially if it UNC, could jump to as high as mid $30's.

This is all educated guesses now

ETA: A&M currently gets a minimum of $20 million

One thing to remember is that just getting to renegotiate after the Pac 12 deal is going to increase the money for everybody.

The addition will trigger a clause in the contract so the SEC can renegotiate the TV contract. The SEC is the premier Football Conference and a new TV deal will dwarf the recent PAC12 deal. I think that is where the 34 million number is coming from.
