<blockquote>
<p class="speakable-p-1 p-text">While the Southeastern Conference remains a preeminent force in football, its three-year domination of college sports revenue is ending.</p>
<p class="speakable-p-2 p-text">However, it will take years to erase the financial cushion it has built.</p>
<p class="p-text">The SEC had just under $660 million in revenue during its 2018 fiscal year, according to a federal tax return that the conference provided Friday.</p>
<p class="p-text">That resulted in an average of $43.7 million being distributed to the 13 member schools that received full shares. Mississippi did not get a full share because of its football team was banned from postseason play.</p>
<p class="p-text">The Big Ten Conference likely distributed a little more than $50 million to each of its 12 schools that got full revenue shares in fiscal 2018, according to schools&#8217; recent financial disclosures.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sounds like it&#8217;s time to revisit those deals with the SEC&#8217;s broadcast partners.  We all remember what Mike Slive did the last time the conference presidents lost their bragging rights.</p>
