The Oregon estimate seems off.  I saw numbers for the PAC-12 that indicated that the conference would get about $500 million a year with USC/UCLA and $300 million a year without.  That $300 million divided by 10 teams would be about $30 million a year per team, which might be where you get that figure.  But Oregon is probably worth more than the average PAC-10 team, so I imagine the Ducks would bring more to the table than that.  Are they worth $80 million, which is what they would have to bring to the B1G or SEC for parity?  No.
