Are they distributed evenly or by amount of airtime your team has had that year?

Its split evenly, I assume after the conference takes their cut off the top.

EDIT: To add:

The total distribution amount is comprised of revenue generated from television agreements, post-season bowl games, the College Football Playoff, the SEC Football Championship, the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, NCAA Championships and a supplemental surplus distribution.

Thanks, but after your edit I don't think the payouts are evenly distributed. I know for a fact that Universities get different payouts depending on whether they go to a championship game and bowl appearances are paid out depending on the bowl for which you are invited to. You are correct, it goes thru the SEC first and they take their share, but the amounts are not the same across the SEC.

there is only one Saban. and he is not coming to Tennessee...

No one in college football runs their program like Alabama and we don't have close to enough funding to even try it..

How the AD and coach operate isn't special to Alabama. Anytime you have a highly successful football coach, he will have supreme leverage on an AD. So your insinuation that a coach can't have a say in who the AD is because that coach would have leverage on the AD is flawed thinking.

If you are worried about coaches not having leverage on your AD, then keep hiring crap coaches. Shockingly enough though, our crap coaches keep bending over our incompetent AD's. That is another can of worms though, regarding the neutering of our athletic department.

I would like this a 1000x if I could.

It just baffles my mind, how some people want to hand wring in the corner and be held hostage by a SUBPAR coach and are afraid to do anything because "we don't have an AD". The car is headed towards a cliff but all the limped wrists are huddled in the back seat, too scared to take control of the damn wheel. Someone has to stand up and be a leader and take control of this situation. I know that show of "bravado" is scarce these days on the college campus where the snowflakes run the show.

Not to be disagreeable but in 2015 AL and TN had almost the exact revenue from football, $98M (TN) vs $97M (AL). TN was the second most profitable football program, behind Texas at $70M meaning we spend about $28M on football. Meanwhile, AL comes in at #10 on the list at $48M profit meaning they spend roughly 50% of their revenue on their program. What is happening to the money we don't spend on football? I realize we support other non-revenue sports but Bama does too. Our basketball while isn't great is still more successful than Bama's on both the men's and women's side. The money is there, it's in how you spend it.

Bama wants a championship level program, we seem to be happy with what we have. It really makes sense if you think about it in the regards to a business model. Why spend all that money when you don't have to? Almost identical revenues with spending half to achieve it.

there is money that goes into football operations to support the running of football operations that is not part of the financial sheets. happens in all programs. They pay a lot for support staff that no one else does.

For example, it has been stated that they have recruiting staff which mans the phones for their program 16 hours a day. A first and second shift. No other program, as far as I've heard, spends money on those type resources. This means they have staff that can call recruits on a daily basis to stay in touch with them.

Didn't insinuate that at all. I just think that the administration at Tennessee has seen how allowing coaches to have influence in who the AD is didn't work so they will be more cautious of listening. They will listen to the coaches, just may not follow what they hear from them.

Today the football coach and basketball coach are promoting an internal candidate for the AD position. Guess we will see how that goes.

I am much more confident this morning that this is going to happen. Also sounds like it could be sooner rather than later.. must wait on chancellor approval by the board (15th) but then AD could happen shortly after.

Yeah, let it leak out that your successful football coach is disgruntled because you hired an AD he didn't want and see who the fan base sides with. If you have a successful football coach, which we all want, then you have to accept that they pretty much run the show. You may not like it, it may speak to some things about society we don't like, but it is what it is.

Gilbert is the last guy I want taking over. The fact that the basketball and football coaches are pushing him enforces that opinion.

If the leadership is serious, the should tell them to go to hell on their suggestions.

One of them is a dead man walking and the other one is just drawing a check.

CLEARING THE AIR …
Last week’s Views spurred healthy discussion. A lot of it. And the athletics director search remains, I am told, on its same general timeline: year’s end, first of the year.

To that end, sources extremely close to Charlie Anderson, the man responsible for the state-of-the-art facility in which UT football (and other athletes) train, and sources similarly close to David Blackburn, the man who’s so dang orange-collar he worked as a student-manager during his undergrad days on Rocky Top, insist that any past happenings that might have caused the two headstrong leaders to not see eye to eye have, indeed, been buried. “There was never a problem between Anderson and Blackburn,” a source said.

A source said of Anderson in regards to D.B., (Anderson) “is a big supporter of David Blackburn.”

That matches what another, entirely independent campus source told 247Sports late Tuesday night.

I don't think this was coincidence coming out when it did.

So the reported numbers aren't accurate?

If they hire Gilbert, they need to just shut the thing down. The further we get from TN folks in our administration the worse it gets.
