"Just one week ago, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced that the league’s 14 member schools would share $584.2 million – which comes out to $40.4 million per school.Thus, in that time frame, the revenue that the SEC schools have shared, mostly thanks to football, has increased 40-fold.
Here is a quick look at how the shared revenue has grown over the decades:
1980: $4.1 million
1990: $16.3 million
2000: $73.2 million
2010: $209.0 million
2016: $584.2 million"


5 years ago, SEC schools divvied up $244.0 million; last week, they divvied up $584.2 million

Don't be bitter, now it's possible for Vandy to keep spending on their lavish, world-renowned academic facilities.
