DESTIN, Fla. (AP) -- The powerful Southeastern Conference is now the NCAA's richest league.
Thanks to the successful debut of the SEC Network, the conference generated an NCAA-record $455.8 million in revenue in 2014-15. The league's revenue was $309.6 million last year.
The SEC will distribute $31.2 million to each of its 14 schools, a figure that does not include $19 million in bowl revenue.
Commissioner Mike Slive announced the record payout Friday, the final day of the league's spring meetings.
