Don't count this as being over yet.


Mike, the SEC split over $17 millions between the schools from the tv contracts.


Utah made a smart choice. And Vandy usually does well in basketball. Besides they get to be the smart ones.

thought it much more than that :

this was last summers figures
This fall, the conference that's captured the past three national championships will begin an unprecedented assault on our nation's television sets. The 2009 season marks the beginning of a new 15-year, $2.25 billion contract with ESPN, which coincides with a 15-year, $825 million deal with CBS.

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.

Share 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).

Not included in the $209 million payout was $14.3 million retained by schools playing in bowl games and $780,000 divided among the 12 members by the NCAA for academic enhancement. The amount also does not include revenue that schools make from local media packages.

That was just from this past year. Not too shabby though.
 
Sure Kato.

SEC east

1. Florida - overall one of the best athlete programs. National Championships in football and basketball within the past couple of years. Decent in baseball as well.

2. Tennessee - football program has been down a little the past couple of years but still a good program. Basketball program is one of the best, especially the girls. I would vote Pat Summit for President.

3. Georgia - I think they will be the 3rd best football team in the east this year behind Florida and SC. Basketball program has struggled some in the past couple of years but I its showing some improvement. Also decent in gymnastics.

4. South Carolina - this should be their best football team in forever provided their QB can play somewhat consistently. Defensive side of the ball, very solid. You can always count on them to upset a few basketball games. And their baseball team is in Omaha.

5. Kentucky - they like it when their football team doesn't suck but football is what happens while they are waiting for basketball to start. And yeah they are the king of the basketball courts.

6. Vandy - has a great medical school. LOL....seriously, they are harder to beat at football than one might think because they try hard and play smart. Basketball they are very solid.


SEC west

1. Alabama - football team is so stocked right now that they let their 3rd string QB transfer to a team they are playing the week before the Iron Bowl. Basketball program has some potential at times but it needs something. Hopefully Anthony Grant can get things going. Baseball team is decent. Girls softball program is solid. Gymnastics is one of the best in the SEC.

2. Auburn - Tuberville got a little lazy in his recruiting and the football team is having to do some building and learning some discipline. They hate being called Bama's little sister and it makes them ornery. Basketball - they had one of the worst basketball facilities in the SEC until this year when they just finished building a new one. And a new coach who comes across great in the media. Good swimming program. Baseball program made it to the first round of regional play this year.

3. LSU - has a good football program but Les Miles cannot handle the clock in pressure situations. You can usually count on him to cost them at least one game a year. Basketball, oh they sucked this year. And haven't been all that great since Big Baby Davis left. But I have a feeling that they will get that together soon. I believe they were the 2009 NCAA champs in baseball although they didn't make it this year.

4. Mississippi State - football program is decent. They might contend one year but its doubtful they will ever be a year to year to year contender. Basketball program is very solid. Great coach. If you want to be a weatherman, this is the school for you.

5. Ole Miss - best football program in Mississippi. Orgeron (or however you spell his name) might have sucked as a head coach but he recruited well for them. Basketball prgram was good this year also.

6. Arkansas - football program is getting there. Offensively - very good. defensively - not so good. Basketball - well they haven't been the same since they got rid of Nolan Richardson but you can awlays count on them for a hard fought game. Baseball team had a great run this year.
