From the following link:

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nj.com/rutgers/2022/08/heres-how-much-money-rutgers-will-get-from-big-ten-and-when-following-1-billion-media-rights-deal.html[/URL]

"Officials familiar with the deal told NJ Advance Media Friday the Big Ten distribution for each school is expected exceed $70 million next year and soar north of $80 million by the end of the deal in 2029-30."

This sounds about right as the B1G adds in the bowl money, hoops tourney money, shared gate money, and other revenues to the TV deal for the total payout.  One of the large factors is the shared gate revenues which is not preserved by each school, rather a portion is pooled to the conference and then shared. thus, making the payout appear larger that it would be if calculated like the other major (and minor) conferences.

On a side note, Rutgers still owes the B1G about $38MM on top of its remaining buy-in.  With more money rolling in, Rutgers is still behind the eight-ball.  And with their history of mismanagement, it will be interesting to see how long the NJ residents will tolerate such failure and incompetence.
