Beyond the fans and viewership, each school benefits monetarily from the deal with each receiving a lump sum from the Big East each year through its television revenue. In 2005, each basketball school received $10 million. While every school agrees to deals with area coverage, the network will still have a small stake in those games, especially with its ESPN Regional distribution. Agreements in other conferences fluctuate.

The Big East / ESPN deal. The contrast just makes you sick. It makes you realize how absolutely HORRIBLE and incompetent the MWC is, from the commissioner to the university presidents to the athletic directors.
