The amount is astounding to see in comparison to earlier distributions from the SEC. You can see the numbers in the below included press release, but here are a couple of highlights. In 1980, SEC revenue shared among schools was $4.1 million. In 1990, it was $16.3 million. In 2000, the number had grown to $73.2 million. The 2013 SEC revenue is significant, but it stands to grow even larger in coming years with the new SEC and ESPN Television deal.
