Here's your exact comment:See, all you did was take $2 million and add it to the $6 million. That's exactly what I said. You just added $2 million + subscription fees.I do know what the Big Ten made and what it distributed. <a href="http://btn.com/2013/05/06/report-big-ten-payouts-to-hit-25-7-million/">http://btn.com/2013/05/06/report-big-ten-payouts-to-hit-25-7-million/</a>This is the Big Ten payout from 2013:According to a report by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, each Big Ten school will receive $25.7 million this year from the conference. The Big Ten Network will contribute $7.6 million of that figure. Big Ten schools also received $10.9 million apiece from the conference’s television deal with ABC and ESPN.The BTN paid out $7.6 million to each team. So we have concrete figures. Now, let's apply your formula and see what we get. In 2013, The BTN had 52 million subscribers, 20 million of which were in the footprint. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/5/3/4295242/sec-network-big-ten-network-comparison">http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/5/3/4295242/sec-network-big-ten-network-comparison</a>The BTN gets $1.00 inside the footprint, and $.20 outside. Ok, so let's add up the numbers:20 million * $1.00 = $20 million32 million * $.20 = $6.4 million$20 million + $6.4 million =$26.4 million$26.4 million * 12 months = $316.8 million$316.8 million / 2 (half for Fox) = $158.4 million$158.4 million / 13 (in 2013, the Big Ten only had 12 teams, plus the conference HQ) = $12.2 millionSo there you go. Using your formula, the Big Ten would get $12.2 million. However, they actually got $7.6 million. Pretty big difference. That shows you the expenses, etc. that come off the top before the money is actually distributed. Your figures predicted $8-9 million for the Big 12. Well, obviously, a fairly good chuck has to come out of that for expenses, as evidenced by the Big Ten. That means you are looking at closer to $4-5 million coming from the Big 12 network.</blockquote>
