Good breakdown by Jon Wilner of FY 16 conference distributions. He actually compares correct years. The only non-apple to apple comparison is he uses the 11 long time BIG member distribution, but doesn't scale it back for what Nebraska, Rutgers and UMD is paid to average it out.
ACC is not included yet because FY 16 tax returns haven't been obtained.
But based on articles out of FSU and I believe VT, the distributions should be around $23-24M per school last fiscal year. Kooks are going to jump on that, but it was very well known.
This does not include the Orange bowl payout which is a big chunk, and next year we should see a large rights fee increase due to the new ESPN contract, and then an even larger jump (if you want to believe the estimates FSU gave) in 2019 when the network goes live.
Basically, all power 5 conferences seem to be healthy going forward and are somewhat in the same ballpark.
