$25 million annually for the regular season averaged over the contract duration
$1.5 million annually establishing a SEC Network
$7.1 from post-season (SEC championship, playoffs and bowls).
That totals to $33.6 million annually per SEC school. If the SEC gets 2 of the 4 playoff spots (we would have this year and probably will most often do so), that will be $6 million more (for the 2nd SEC school) for the SEC. That would mean an additional $400,000 for each SEC school, bringing the annual total to $34 million annually to Carolina. If a SEC team gets invited to the Orange Bowl to play the ACC rep, that will be an extra $1.8 million per SEC school. Remember we already have the Sugar Bowl locked up for the SEC and the Big 12. Each of those 2 conferences will get $40 million from the Sug.
Compare that to the ACC. The TV deal they recently signed, spread out over the contract period, would give each ACC school $17 million annually. When you include the differences in bowl arrangements and how many teams conferences send to the playoff, SEC schools are probably going to make about $10 million more annually from TV revenues alone, than ACC schools will.
I had read last year from a Texas A&M source that Slive told them that the SEC payouts would be $34 million annually per school. Now I know how that number was arrived at.
