Big Ten revenue soared to $928 million for 2024 fiscal year

[MisterGopher]

In its final year as a 14-member conference, the Big Ten saw its revenue soar to $928 million, with projections to exceed $1 billion during the current 2025 fiscal year, according to the league’s 2024 tax statement.

The league disbursed between $63.26 million and $63.43 million to 12 of its members and $61.52 million to Rutgers and Maryland, which borrowed money from the Big Ten while they were considered non-vested members from 2014 to 2020. Both should obtain full shares in 2027. The 2024 fiscal year concluded on June 30, 2024.

• In the same fiscal year, the Southeastern Conference earned $898.75 million and disbursed between $52.35 million and $53.13 million to its 14 full-time members. The SEC also provided new members Oklahoma and Texas with $27.5 million to offset their Big 12 media rights forfeitures.

I wonder if these guys could ever imagine their humble Midwestern conference would someday generate $1 billion in annual revenues. Back in the day they’d just bring a dish to pass at family get togethers and everyone would be happy.

The Whiskey mascot looks like a deranged owl, the Indiana mascot looks like John Goodman and the Illini mascot is just begging for a lawsuit.

I love the old game programs and memorabilia that some of you guys post on here!
