The value of Conference USA's television contracts have eroded even more than earlier reports indicated.

The league will receive about $2.8 million in TV revenue in 2016-2017 from its four broadcast networks, according to documents The Virginian-Pilot obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

That's about $200,000 for each school, according to notes Old Dominion officials received during C-USA's spring meetings last month .

It represents a steep decline from from the $15.4 million, or about $1.1 million per school, to be distributed this year.

Fox Sports and the CBS Sports Network have been paying C-USA $9,950,000 for TV rights, according to the documents.
