It is based on the idea that TV steals game day ticket sales. So the teams on TV get to keep most, or all, of the TV revenue.
Here is an example..
Imagine Luck becomes a big media story because he is a Voldemort candidate. Now all of the sudden Stanford vs Oregon State is on TV. Â But it also happens to be a cold dreary day.
Casual fans scan the web and learn they can see the great Luck without having to get tickets for the game.
Why should ASU get compensated for the loss of ticket sales for a game between OSU and Stanford?
Clearly the media attention would offer benefits in the long term for the teams on TV, but on that one day TV could lower ticket sales.
It is an old school concept created when conferences didn\'t toss away decades of tradition to get a few football games on Thursday night TV.
I would suspect the new TV agreement will include slightly more even revenue distribution.
Not out of fairness, but as a way to motivate the lesser programs to accept a deal loaded with a series of travel costs and operational expenses created by the mega conference.
