That's not how it works, that's not how any of this works. The SEC Network, Big Ten network, and Pac 12 Network get paid a fee for every subscriber. The networks get paid a higher fee in the conference's footprint aka the home state of each program. Outside of their conference footprint they all get 25 cents per subscriber. The network with the biggest footprint, highest footprint fees, and most carriers makes the most money. The SEC charges $1.40 per subscriber inside their footprint, Big 10 charges $1.00, and they Pac 12 charges $.80. The SEC Network had deals with every major cable and satellite provider except Directv and Time Warner although they are expected to reach an agreement before the network launches, The Big 10 Network now has deal with all the major providers, the Pac 12 has with all the major providers except for Directv.

The SEC may not get watched in those other areas, which isn't really true compared to other conferences, but inside their footprint they are the #1 show and command the highest fee.
