The Big Ten Network is turning a tidy profit

Just to be clear, this is just the BTN money. This is just the rights to the games that otherwise wouldn't be on any network of note at all. We are not including the top tier rights that are sold to ABC/ESPN, right? Because those would have to be pretty substantial too.

 
Forbes article from Jan 29th. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/pete_thamel/11/19/maryland-big-ten-money/index.html

1. Big Ten ($310 Million)

2. Pac 12 ($303 Million)

3. ACC ($293 Million)

4. SEC ($270 Million)

5. Big 12 ($262 Million)

6. Big East ($94 Million)

7. C-USA ($26.5 Million)

8. MAC ($22 Million)

9. MWC ($21.5 Million)

10. WAC ($10 Million)

I think TCU and WV dont get full shares, but basically the Big12 is 26.2 million per team. Big Ten is 25.8 million per team (NU doesn't get a full share)

The projected jump is up to 43 million per team in 2017 for the Big 10 (even with 14 teams, 602 million total).
