Once again Dodd proves to be an idiot who doesn't do research.

Titles, top talent, now own Network -- SEC rules on high - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com

OK, the SEC is getting $3 billion over the next 15 years.

Now lets look at the B10 numbers

Big Ten could reap $2.8B from network deal

The B10 gets $1.2 billion for 10 years from the national networks. The B10 can also make up to $2.8 billion for 25 years.

I will do a couple scenarios.

1) Under assumption - Assume the same average for the national contracts over 15 years and the 2008 average per team in the B10 Network. That is $15.27 million per team per year vs. the SEC average of $16.67 million per team.

2) Average assumption - Average of the max B10 Network (over assumption) + current average of national deals (under assumption since a renegotiation will happen in those 15 years). That is $19.37 million per team per year vs. the SEC average of $16.67 million per team per year.

So, at a minimum the B10 teams will make a little over a million less, and more than likely make more than SEC teams. Good job Dodd.

Good post Scott.

I find it hilarious that Dodd said, "[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]SEC football just became the world's most popular sport behind soccer and the NFL".

What a douche. Does he even understand sports? Does he understand that a TV contract isn't a barometer of a sports International popularity? Can he even comprehend that there are great teams in other conferences that are just as successful as teams in the SEC?

Honestly, I find SEC games to be boring. Of course I've grown up watching B10 football my whole life, so I guess I'm spoiled by hardnosed football.
