The final numbers are in. The first year of the SEC's new TV deals with ESPN and CBS allowed the conference to distribute approximately $209 million to its 12 members, an average of $17.3 million per school. That's a 57-percent increase from a year ago, when the average was $11 million.
Fifty-two percent of this year's revenue came from football television contracts, which totaled $109.5 million. Other revenue came from basketball television contracts ($30 million), bowl games ($26.5 million), NCAA championships ($23.5 million), the SEC football championship game ($14.5 million) and the SEC men's basketballl tournament ($5 million).
It has a count down for a minute but watch and enjoy.
