March Madness is a cash cow
TV deal is worth about $770 M each year. But, that includes almost 24 hour coverage on multiple channels for 3-4 weekends. That's alot of tv airtime, which is part of what's being paid for and one reason why there was talk to expanding the tournament to more teams.
I don't see the football tv deal being this much, because there's not near as much airtime (and potential for ESPN/CBS/Fox to make money on ads).

I'm willing to bet it's not an even split between all 31 conferences
It's not. Here is the revenue distribution per conference in 2010. ACC got about $18 M, Big East about $23 M, SEC about $15 M. Most of the small conferences get about $1-3 M each, but the A-10 received about $6 M.

No, you're right. I was only counting the ESPN deal. Adding the ESPN + CBS contracts is just over $17 M per team per year.
