Longhorn Network Vs SEC Team Deals.

We have been hearing about the $15 million annually signed for Texas by ESPN for a while now.
Some are actually reporting closer to 11 million up to 20 million until the expense and growth is completed.  
Either way it is a lot of money when added to the Big 12 Deal.   Better yet it will give them a national exposure.
This new deal is 5 million more than Horns made in 2010.  Previous contract for Texas was 9.4 million a year.

Then we were flooded with info that the Big 10 gets more money than the SEC schools with Big 10 Network.
Rumored to be up to 22million vs 17 million in old SEC contract.

What I didn't know was the SEC allows for Regional deals and the teams keep the money.
Yes, The SEC can negotiate and keep the regional TV money.
And they have some big deals.

So here is something I found shocking.

(Top Money Making Regional School Contracts. 2010)
1.  Georgia.  11.6 million   added to SEC pool money of 18.3 million  equals about 30 million.
2.  Ohio State 11...Shared money with conference.
3. Florida  10 Million.
4. Bama 9.44 Million
5. Texas 9.4
6. Neb 8.65
7. Tenn 8.34
8.Kent  8 Mil     Uconn 8mil
10 NCarl 7.5.
11. LSU 7.45   
 12  . Ark  7.3.

Now add what will be a new SEC TV Deal which likely will be above 25Million and the money gets nuts.
Texas should join the SEC, they can keep the 15 million and be by far the richest team.
The Big 10 and Pac 12 make teams share the revenue.   The ACC is like the SEC , but just not as big on TV demand.
