72 million per full time schools.

I am confused because it sounds like Texas got paid more than Oklahoma even though Oklahoma was in the playoffs. Which I assumed meant a higher payout than whatever bowl Texas went to

SEC schools (& front office) each receive $72.4 Million in shared revenue for the 2024-2025 sports year

That’s up $18.6 million from the $53.8 million each got from the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The conference generated around $1.03 billion dollars for 2024-2025 sports year (compared to the $808.4 million during 2023-2024).

The Sooners and Longhorns’ revenue distribution for fiscal year 2025 is $2.6 million for OU and $12.6 million for UT. Texas got more because of its College Football Playoff appearance while OU’s postseason contribution was the Armed Forces Bowl. Just what I found...

The UT Athletic Dept listed expenses of more than $275M and while they took in revenue of over $300M, that's still only about $25M extra.

It's an enormous business and you receive entertainment value for your ticket. Why should people want something for nothing?
