"And if we are including the $11M for the ACC average that was withheld from bowl payouts/traveling expenses, then we must also include the $19M that was withheld by the SEC in 2014-15. That's $1.4M/school.

But having looked at some articles reporting the 2014-15 SEC revenue while trying to find their bowl/reimbursement figure, I've also come to the conclusion that their $31.2M figure is more math errors by "journalists". I'm pretty sure the SEC office also receives a share, much like the ACC. However, in none of the articles I've read is that accounted for. They also seem to mistakenly refer to the conference's total revenue as the total amount "distributed".

They had $455.8M in revenue and are distributing $436.8M of that, per reports. IF you divide that $436.8M by 14 you have $31.2M/school. They also report the $19M retained from the bowls. But 436.8 + 19 is 455.8M. That would leave nothing for the SEC office. And, as I've said about Swofford, Slive wasn't working for free. So I think a more accurate figure would be $436.8M / 15 = $29.1M/school. Then add in the $1.4M/school from their bowl reimbursements ($19M/14), and you get $30.5M/school. It's roughly $700K/school less than media are seemingly inaccurately reporting.

2014-15 payouts
ACC: $24.7M/school ?
SEC: $30.5M/school

2015-16 payouts
ACC: $24.0M/school ? (including ESPN contract annual increase and the loss of at least $23.5M in CFP/Orange Bowl money)
SEC: $31.3M/school ? (only including an increase of $12.5M in Sugar Bowl money, not including SECN gains or ESPN contract annual increase) "
