Daily Oklahoman: TCU, West Virginia to receive bigger Big 12 revenue shares
 
TCU and West Virginia are getting big bumps in Big 12 revenue.
 
The two freshest members of the Big 12 will see their revenue shares jump from 67 percent to 85 percent this year, according to David Ubben of Fox Sports. The exact amount of the payout is expected to be announced this week at the Big 12's annual spring business meetings in Irving, Texas.
 
Upon joining the conference in 2012, TCU and West Virginia agreed to staggered revenue payments. Both teams will receive full 100-percent shares following this season.

Last year, Big 12 teams distributed around $23 million each to eight members, whereas TCU and West Virginia only received $14 million each. The Big 12 divided $213 million between its members last year.
 
On Thursday, the league is expected to announce future sites for numerous championship games and tournaments. The Big 12's annual revenue numbers will be released Friday.

With the Peach Bowl, they likely turned a profit on us last year.

Just hope Big 12 lasts a long time to enjoy 100% revenue share.

Mo' money mo' problems.

I think we at least got to keep the lion's share of that money, though.

Should be a rule that if you win the conference in football then your revenue immediately goes to 100%.

Our full membership/revenue sharing begins July 1. That payout occurs next spring. But it's nice to know this is the last partial distribution TCU will get.

Please take sizable portions of this money and throw it at Meach and Cumbie.

We should receive about $20 million this year for our last partial revenue year.  Add that to our 3rd tier rights.  Plus the revenues with the new football stadium, the soon to be new basketball arena, and the ever increasing Frog Club donations, our athletic department is doing quite well.
 
Quite a jump from the MWC days.
 
Where I think we are seeing a difference is in the other sports that now can enjoy more funding due to our increased revenue.

I wonder where we fit in the profitability picture...

What happens when you are co-champs though?

Movin' on up to a decidedly more prosperous neighborhood....'bout time!

Well, if you won H2H, then you are immediately ushered into the CFP final four and anointed as royalty.  If you lost H2H, then you are banished to the Las Vegas Bowl to play 6-6 BYU and must immediately go back to 50% revenue share.
