The Big 12 filed their tax return for FY2017, so we have a good picture of how the Big 12 stacked up against its major conference brethren. A few interesting notes:

1. Big 12 member's total conference earnings, when adjusted for Tier 3 and compared to other major conferences, continue to rank a competitive third.
FY 2016-2017 Conference Distribution Per School
SEC: $42.6 million
Big 10: $38.5 million
Big 12: $37.3 million
Pac 12: $30.5 million
ACC: $27.4 million
The Big 12 continues to show that while it is behind the SEC and BIG, they are a substantially stronger conference (yes, with 10 members) than the PAC or ACC.
2. Texas made substantially more than they would have in the BIG or SEC, and Oklahoma almost accomplished the same feat.
FY 2016-2017 Adjusted Conference Distribution
Texas: $47.9 million
Oklahoma: $40.7 million
West Virginia: $37.4 million
Kansas: $36.9 million
Okla State: $35.5 million
Kansas State: $35.3 million
Iowa State: $35 million
Texas Tech: $34.8 million
Baylor: $34.8 million
TCU: $34.7 million
3. For the FY 2017-2018, here's the estimated conference distribution (Big 12's is adjusted, same as above)
Big 10: $50 million (new TV deal kicking in, very front loaded)
SEC: $44.5 million
Big 12: $39.9 million
Pac 12: $32.5 million
ACC: $32 million
Summary: The Big 12 is fine, and everyone should stop freaking out about it.
