Big 12 to Pay Member Schools Close to $35 Million

STILLWATER – Big 12 Conference commissioner, Brett Yormark, and Chairperson of the Big 12 Board of Directors, Linda Livingstone, met with the media Friday morning and announced a record-setting distribution $558 million to member schools.

That means each school will receive roughly $35 million.

That’s anywhere between $2 million and $5 million less than the conference paid out last year, which was between $37.8 million and $42.1 million. But this number includes all 16 member schools as full-time payouts. 

This number is significantly less compared to the Big Ten schools, who are receiving roughly $63 million and the ACC, who’s set to pay out between $43 million and $46 million. The SEC has yet to announce its payout.
