Points #1 and #5 hit the nail on the head.  Due to the mammoth sizes and fan followings of so many SEC and Big Ten institutions (especially the major content drivers like Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, Penn State, Florida, LSU, Texas A&M, etc.), ticket revenues, athletic donations, etc. mean that conference revenue distribution only comprise about a third of their overall athletic revenue while the not so much content drivers like the Purdues and the Mississippi States conference revenues is closer to 50% of their athletic revenue.

Still when that conference revenue actually reaches $50 million annually, that means the Purdues and Mississippi States will have $100 million dollar athletic revenues soon.  Syracuse had a reported $90 million in athletic revenue for 2016-17 and their conference revenue distribution was about 25% of that total.  So a $10 million increase in conference revenue distribution will be a welcome sight.  Especially since we have been told that $90 million didn't represent a new normal.
