Not necessarily. This means that USC's share from the SEC will be about $7.7 million more than last year. Next year, it will probably increase again.

Isn't this money divided up through all our sports or how does that work?

It adds to the total revenue for the yearly budget.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a 'Daddy Alum' who MATCHED our SEC share every year?

Any new money from ESPN may dry up. Their viewership is tanking and so goes the TV revenue.

Depends on the contract. Not sure it relies on actual viewership, just potential viewers.

Gotta love the benefits of being a part of the SEC.

Time to go back to the drawing board and add a few million in "bells and whistles" and build the players the best playground in CFB.

That rate of increase is impressive, but it's not sustainable over the long run. Hopefully we are spending the money wisely in anticipation of when that rate of increase plateaus and, potentially, even drops.

I'm slightly annoyed that the SEC brings in this much money, yet still send bowl teams to Shreveport, Birmingham, and generally has been pushed around by the ACC lately
