Networks
Actually this is not accurate.
The Big 10 Network is jointly owned by Fox Sports (51%) and the Big 10 (49%).
The Pac 12 network is wholly owned by the Pac-12.
The SEC Network is owned 80% by ESPN and 20% by the Hearst Corporation.
ACC Network would be modeled similar to the SEC Network.
Each of these setups has different strengths and weaknesses.
PAC 12 doesn't have to share the money with anyone - but is also responsible for all costs and creating carriage. That has been an issue as the network has yet to turn a profit.
ESPN is basically responsible for the costs and carriage for the SEC - but the payouts are different, instead if getting all the money, like the PAC 12 will eventually get (they hope), the SEC is given a set payment based on total revenue. ESPN gets to keep the rest.
Bog 10 is sort of in between. They have some responsibly for costs, but also would get more of the revenue.
