The Pac-12 Conference is projected to fall far behind other Power 5 conferences over the next five years in revenue-sharing and won’t even reach $38 million in payouts per school until 2023, according to budget documents recently provided by Pac-12 member Washington State.
By comparison, the Big Ten is expected to provide payouts to schools this year that exceed $51 million. Even the Atlantic Coast Conference soon is expected to rocket past $40 million after previously ranking last in school payouts among the Power 5.
The Southeastern Conference reported an average payout of about $41 million for fiscal year 2017.
In the meantime, the Pac-12 has seen a number of coaches and athletic directors taking the same jobs at other Power 5 conference schools that offered more, including basketball coach Cuonzo Martin, who left Cal last year for a bigger contract at Missouri.
