FYI - Prior to CU and Utah joining the conference the Pac-10 had unequal revenue sharing. Larry took the Pac-12 to equal revenue sharing. Being academia the vote to go to equal shares was unanimous but USC made it clear at the time that it was not happy with receiving an equal share. Had the Pac-10 distribution remainded in place perhaps SC/UCLA would have stayed in the conference.

March 3, 20232 yr Author Moderator I'm surprised that Oregon among other teams did not object to a Mountain West team, Utah, joining the conference as an equal share member.

March 3, 20232 yr Remember, the source of revenue in revenue sharing has changed over the years. For much of the Pac's history revenue was the proceeds from the gate. WSU got half the net when they played in the Coliseum, U$C got half when they visited Martin Stadium. Obviously WSU got the best of that deal. I think that changed about the time Arizona/ASU joined. At one point revenue from the rare TV appearance was split 55% to the televised team, 45% split among the conference members. League media rights prior to Colorado and Utah joining were about $6 million per school. With expansion and a new media deal the league total jumped to the $170 million range so even with equal shares schools doubled their media income.

SOON TO BE EVEN: In Oregon, Cliff Kirkpatrick reports revenue sharing "will be equal for the first time starting in the 2012-13 academic calendar year, after the conference renegotiates its television contract."
