compete in more ways that just on the field.
TV contracts
Bowl tie-ins
National Perception
For example, the bowl game that they both play in with the lowest payout is the Las Vegas bowl.
$3.8M
The Big Ten only plays in 1 bowl game with a lower payout than that.
The SEC plays in 3 bowl games with a lower payout.
The worst city that the Big 10 plays a bowl game in is either NYC or El Paso.
The SEC has to go to Birmingham & Memphis.
That may seem menial, but bowls are supposed to be fun and the city matters.
If you "rank" bowls based on $, location, and history, the SEC plays in 3 "worse" bowls than the Big Ten's worst bowl.
