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.

CFP 2026 reshapes access and payouts with Notre Dame guarantee and auto-bids

The College Football Playoff will stay at 12 teams in 2026, but major changes are in place: each Power 4 conference champion and the top Group of 6 champion are guaranteed auto-bids, Notre Dame earns a spot if ranked in the top 12, and revenue is redistributed so the Big Ten and SEC each pull about 29% of the pot while the ACC gets ~17%, the Big 12 ~15%, and the Group of 6 ~9% (per-school figures: >$21M for Big Ten/SEC, ~$13M for ACC, ~$12M for Big 12, ~$1.8M for Group of 6; Oregon State and Washington State life add-ons of about $3.6M each). Notre Dame’s payout would exceed $12M annually plus a $6M bonus when invited. There are no performance bonuses, and the framework follows a 2024 memorandum of understanding, with expansion beyond 12 still a possibility for the future.

Big 12 Distributes Record $470M Amid Realignment, Expansion Uncertain

The Big 12 conference announced a record $470 million in revenue distribution during its first spring meetings as a 14-team league, with plans to expand to 16 teams. Despite smaller shares for full members due to new additions, Commissioner Brett Yormark emphasized the conference's growing relevance and stability. The increase in revenue is attributed to higher College Football Playoff and bowl revenues, ticket sales, and streamlined sponsorships. The Big 12, along with other power conferences, is preparing for significant changes, including a $2.8 billion settlement to compensate athletes starting in 2025.

"CFP Future: Reconsidering Formats and Revenue Amid Outcry"

College Football Playoff leaders are considering a new format and revenue model that would heavily favor the SEC and Big Ten, leading to a significant financial divide among the major conferences. The proposed revenue distribution would see the SEC and Big Ten earning significantly more than the ACC and Big 12, causing anxiety and potential instability in the latter conferences. The ACC, in particular, faces challenges in retaining its top programs, with Florida State and Clemson exploring legal avenues to potentially exit the conference. ESPN's looming contract decision and the internal deadline for conferences to agree on a future CFP framework add further urgency to the situation.

"Revisiting CFP Format: Impact on SEC Championship and Automatic Byes"

The College Football Playoff (CFP) is considering a 14-team playoff for the 2026 season, but the proposed idea of granting automatic byes to the SEC and Big Ten champions is facing resistance from conference commissioners due to public backlash. While discussions about the 14-team format and revenue distribution are ongoing, the CFP will use a 12-team format for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, with the five highest-ranked conference champions earning guaranteed spots and the next seven highest-ranked teams also qualifying. Negotiations for the next TV contract are ongoing, with revenue expected to favor the Big Ten and SEC, but with some adjustments for other conferences based on past playoff participation.

Washington State president Kirk Schulz will propose to College Football Playoff leaders that the Pac-12 be treated as a power conference in revenue and voting rights for the extended future, seeking equal treatment for the conference in the upcoming CFP contract. The proposal has caused a delay in a crucial vote on the playoff format, with Schulz emphasizing the need for more at-large spots due to the Pac-12's realignment and policy changes. The Pac-12 has two years to rebuild and reach the eight-school minimum before the NCAA no longer recognizes it as an FBS conference, and is also formulating a future plan to protect the brand of the conference.
