Big Ten Posts Record $1.37B Payout to 18 Members in First Full Year of Media Deal
The Big Ten distributed a record $1.37 billion to its 18 member schools in FY2024-25, about $76.1 million per school on average, with Washington and Oregon receiving smaller shares after joining in 2024. The payout reflects the full implementation of the conference’s seven-year media-rights deal with Fox, CBS and NBC and the first year of the expanded College Football Playoff, as Ohio State won the national title and Indiana, Penn State and Oregon advanced to the CFP field. The SEC had previously announced about $1.03 billion in shares for its universities that year.
