Can't they use some of that to train referees, or get new ones?

Or give some of it to the players who actually make these earnings possible..

Amen brother.

Head football coaches be loving this.

 

[sport3500]

That is an insane amount.

No wonder schools keep firing coaches and buying out contracts. Ultimately, this levels the playing field for every school to "match" best in class facilities around the SEC and hire expensive coaches.

The SEC as a whole is absolutely rolling in dough.

It’s probably a plot schemed by a Georgia grad in the SEC office during the 90s to level the playing field with Tennessee. Communism at its best. Tennessee has the fan base and support to become an independent.

I'm pretty sure a lot of it is already earmarked to pay off the refs from the Bama game.

NO! They are getting too much under the table already!!!

I've never really been for paying players, since they get lodging/education/food. But if you took 10% of that, five million, and split it 85 ways, the kids would get about $60,000 each. of course, that's just football, and splitting between all athletes at the university would require a bigger percentage of the total.

I remember when each SEC Team Got appx 14 million!! Damn I'm getting old.

You open it and they’ll want more and more.
Allow them to get a PT job and be done.

I’ve heard it will add another $200,000,000+ each year. Divided 15 ways is a big chunk.
