When considering BTN payouts, recall that the B1G shares gate revenue (a larger percentage of the gate for conference games) and it is included in the annual payout.  No other conference shares gate revenue.  This inflates the payout.

The important points to remember when considering conference payouts is

1. that the revenue stream sources are not exactly the same between conferences
2. Hoops is still largely underpaid, see BTN deal!  The ACC will see a large benefit from this.
3. The ACCN will close a portion of the gap.
4. The BTN deal is likely to level of as more cord cutting (or never getting cable/satellite millenials increase their share of the adult population).
5. The difference in payouts is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.  Sure $10MM difference in payouts seems large, $20MM is worse.  However, when more and more AD budgets are measured n $100MM+ and school budgets are $Billions, $10MM is an accounting error, don't get too worked up over it.  Besides, SUAD sends money to the school, someone is running the AD correctly.
