( There's a similar database at USA Today, and the figures on the two don't exactly align. We're not using net profits, because athletic departments regularly spend close to everything they earn in the name of being non-profits that aren't capable of paying student-athletes: School Here's the men's basketball equation, told via the teams' average Ken Pomeroy rankings over the past three seasons: SchoolĪnd here's the money, told in the departments' total revenues for the most recent fiscal year reported on the U.S.
Recruiting rankings are from the 247Sports Composite, which aggregates the major services' evaluations, from 2008 through 2015. To explain it, S&P+ is a metric from SB Nation's Bill Connelly, which parses play-by-play data and adjusts for opponent to determine a team's true quality. We'll boldly claim that by "athletic department strength," the Big 12 wants good football programs, credible men's basketball programs and lots of money. In turn, here's how the Big 12 candidates stack up in those areas, based on public numbers that should at least approximate whatever data the conference is looking at. Its criteria, Boren said, are athletic department strength, fan base size, media market size, academic strength and "reputation," whatever that means. Oklahoma president David Boren, one of the conference's most powerful figures, told reporters on Tuesday that the league has a checklist for new members. USF is also often mentioned alongside UCF. At least six schools that we know of (BYU, Houston, Colorado State, Memphis, Cincinnati and UCF) have sent the league pitch materials or made deeply public overtures, and UConn is frequently reported as a potential target. The conference, apparently salivating at the ACC's new deal with ESPN, is newly exploring adding either two or four members to its current 10.įortunately for the Big 12, business is good.

Never miss out on the latest with the Bucs, Rays, Lightning, Florida college sports and more. Next season will be his final year of eligibility. The Baylor transfer injured his shoulder against Tulane and is recovering from season-ending surgery. He said in a video that he’s “very, very excited about coming back next season.” USF quarterback Gerry Bohanon announced on Instagram that he will remain with the Bulls for another year. Commissioner Brett Yormark has said his league will look to get into a fourth time zone if it does, which isn’t encouraging for USF. It’s unclear when or if the Big 12 will expand again. Those three programs will also have to spend more to keep up with Oklahoma State, TCU and others.
The three AAC schools will pay the AAC $18 million over 14 years as an exit fee. Though the Big 12 has considered adding USF, the league chose not to include the Bulls in its last expansion, instead choosing the Knights, Cougars, Bearcats and BYU.
That’s up from about $5 million each of the previous two years, tax returns show. The AAC gave USF $7.6 million in the 2020-21 year, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Including other revenue streams like the College Football Playoff, the Big 12 payout could be closer to $50 million per school annually. Multiply that gap of almost $25 million times six years, and you approach $150 million. That amounted to roughly $7 million annually per school - a figure that’s expected to remain the same, despite UCF, Houston and Cincinnati leaving for the Big 12. In 2019, the American Athletic Conference signed a 12-year deal worth $1 billion. That’s roughly $31.7 million per school from when it starts in 2026 until it ends in the 2030-31 school year. The Big 12′s upcoming six-year deal with ESPN and Fox will be worth $2.28 billion, according to Sports Business Journal. Our unofficial estimate: more than $150 million.
