Big Ten wealth is 'lifeblood' for Purdue, Indiana athletic departments

[jostar1]

New members, TV deals will bring in millions more soon.

One year before BTN launched, the Big Ten Conference distributed about $14 million to each of its 11 schools.That was 2006-07. Six years later, that figure has jumped to more than $25 million. What will Purdue University and other league schools receive during the next four years? Even more money. A lot more.
According to documents obtained by the Journal & Courier from Purdue, the Big Ten is expected to distribute about $26.4 million per school after 2013-14 — and more than $35 million at the end of the 2016-17 academic year.

The network will continue to grow, especially with Maryland and Rutgers pulling in more of the populated East Coast market.
That means more money for conference members, especially with a new television contract on the horizon during 2017-18.
