SEC = SOUTHEASTERN COMMUNISM?

EACH TEAM GETS AN EQUAL SHARE OF A PIE, EVEN IF THEY DON'T DO AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE WINNING. LET'S FIX THAT.

The SEC is handing out $435 million to its member institutions this year, a staggering amount of revenue that gives each school over thirty million dollars. Though some schools pocket more due to bowl appearances, that's still 95% of the money the conference took in from the SEC Network, televised football and basketball, and the conference championship game in football and tournament in basketball.

The terms of the SEC's revenue-sharing agreement force that money to be shared equally amongst the 14 schools -- but is that really the fairest way to divide it up?
