Money - ISU vs Iowa

[CintiClone]

Was curious what this new Conference deal would like comparing the Good Guys to the Dark side, so I looked up the Regents Financial report for both schools.

In 2009 ISU took in $39,734,787 in athletic department revenue as compared to Iowa's $65,337,558 - a disparity of over $25,000,000.

The new deal reportedly cuts that difference nearly in half, which should enable the good guys to make up significant ground. Especially when compared to where Iowa is headed with the addition of having to play Nebraska and a potentially a Championship game in conference in football to get to a BCS bowl.

Pages 9 and 13 cover the Athletic budgets of both schools. UNI is in there as well.

I guess that depends on the time difference between when the new tv deal starts and when the Big 10 renegotiates their tv deal.

If the Big 12 conference is worth 14-17 million per team, what is the Big 10 worth per team? 25 million?

To be honest, I'm a little skeptical of that 14 million dollar figure, but if it happens the Big 12 just made the Big 10 and SEC very, very happy.

You might want to go check in on the Beebe media conference thread, in which there is no new TV deal in place, there won't be a new deal until AT LEAST 2012, and, quite possibly, nothing until 2015. So that $25mil discrepancy that was there yesterday is still very much in place today and at least until 2012, and by the time a deal is reached in 2015 who knows how much that discrepancy has increased? And who knows whether Texas is willing to deal in 2015 if their Longhorn Network nets them as much $$$ as they think - they may just tell us to drop drawer again!

The discrepancy is smaller now, for one simple reason. X/10>X/12, especially when one of the two you subtract is one of the higher earners in TV revenue.

If only there actually were a "new deal" in place.
