I don't know if this is accurate, but it's interesting nonetheless....
So the B1G and the SEC basketball generates less than the Big East, sounds fishy to me, other alternative is that basketball is financing football revenue sharing costs which I find hard to believe, or non revenue sports in the B1G are getting more of the revenue sharing than they deserve.

Yah not even close to correctSo the B1G and the SEC basketball generates less than the Big East, sounds fishy to me, other alternative is that basketball is financing football revenue sharing costs which I find hard to believe, or non revenue sports in the B1G are getting more of the revenue sharing than they deserve.
It was my understanding that(I could well be wrong) that the cap is a max total and that you also cannot give more than a certain percentage of your total revenue. So the cap may be lower by the percentage measure if revenue is not sufficient.Yah not even close to correctThis is ON AVERAGE how much those programs are expected to get from the school. Furthermore, this is a total guess on his part, he has no concrete evidence.
This has zero to do with incoming revenue. Each school has their own plan with their funds. If the Gophers want to give all 20.5m to the bball team they could, if they wanted to give 0 they could. As noted a ton of times in this board, most Big East schools either don't have football or have terrible programs, thus they will likely spend more on men's basketball than most conferences on average do.
The big 10 and SEC have far superior revenue than anyone else, but as of now are limited to the same cap as everyone else.
