Greg Sankey, the commissioner of the SEC, stated on Thursday that the 14 universities in the conference will receive
$741 million in income for the fiscal year 2022–2023.
According to a Sankey statement, “SEC member universities are proud to support thousands of student-athletes who
participate in broad-based athletics programs across the league.” Through an unforgettable and life-altering college
experience that includes top-notch coaching, training, academic counseling, medical attention, mental health
support, nutrition, life skills development, and post-eligibility healthcare coverage for student-athletes, SEC
universities are dedicated to providing a high-level experience for all of our participants.
This is the breakdown of the money:
The SEC office distributed $718 million in total.
A further $23 million was kept by each school that took part in the football bowl games in 2022–2023.
$51.3 million was allotted to each institution; participant-retained bowl expenses were not included.
The SEC distributes $50 million to Auburn for the fiscal year 2023.
Revenue from broadcast deals, post-season bowl games, the College Football Playoff, the SEC Football
Championship Game, the SEC men’s basketball tournament, and NCAA titles make up the distribution amount.
It is mentioned in the statement that an extra $8.1 million in SEC and NCAA funding, split among the 14 member
universities, is not included in the allocation.
Compared to the $721.8 million distributed in 2021–2022, the revenue has increased. The average allocation per
school went up from $49.9 million in 2021–2022 (excluding participant-retained bowl money).
