30MM is below the lowest possible outcome for the B1G in 2017.  Even if we suppose that between Fox and ESPN, the lowest bid for the B1G's Tier 1 rights is only 20MM then even the current BTN payout plus only the Rose Bowl payout would already put the B1G at over 30MM per year.  So we would be at over 30MM without including B1G Championship Game, select basketball rights to CBS, rotating Orange Bowl money and assuming zero growth in the BTN (which is the whole reason Rutgers and Maryland were added) and a newly negotiated Tier 1 rights deal below that of the Pac12.  
 
My conservative guess in 2017 based on what I've read...
 
Tier 1 to Fox (or ESPN) at:
25MM per team at a bare bones minimum.   
 
BTN by 2017 with the addition of two new markets and excluding almost any ancillary benefits in NYC and DC
10MM per team at a bare bones minimum.
 
Rose Bowl on ESPN (under current contact)
2.85MM per year
 
B1G Championship (current contract pays 24MM per year)
1.75MM per year
 
Select Basketball rights to CBS (current contract pays 12MM per year
.85MM per year
 
Orange Bowl on ESPN (based on minimum B1G participation of 3X in 12 years)
.5MM per year
 
Total per year, per team based on those numbers.  
41MM in 2017.
