I am very skeptical about the lack of Big-12 and ACC comparisons in these. Like, I'm not surprised the Pac-12 distributes less money than the Big10 and SEC, and frankly being only 6 million less in distritbution than the B1G doesn't seem that bad. Obviously our expenses our higher (could they be lower, sure, but things on the West Coast are going to cost more, these schools are in major urban centers, not Auburn, Alabama), and obviously football will not be able to bring in as much money here as in the SEC (there are, y'know, other sports). 

If the Pac-12 is in 3rd place in money, I'd actually be kind of impressed. I feel like the Big-12 should be more like the B1G/SEC than like us...

But that's just it. The Pac-12 was once considered a power conference on par with the Big Ten and SEC. Now, it's a secondary conference similar to the ACC.
