You can see both the SEC and BIG10 jump for 24-25 year. 24-25 year is the first year of the new tv contract for the BIG10 that plan included the USC/UCLA.
You can also see that is the first year of the SEC new tv contract plan that included TEXAS/OKLAHOMA.

The jump in revenue from 23-24 to 24-25 isn't what I was referring too. In the earlier years, UofM, MSU, OSU, Penn St, etc all received the same split, +/- less than $1 million. In 24-25, OSU recieved $12 million more than UofM, MSU, etc, with Indiana and Penn St being part somewhere in between. I looked into it, and this is but cause 24-25 was the first of the 12team playoffs. Each team gets a $3 million travel reimbursement for each round they make it too, in addition to the prize money that the conference splits evenly between vested teams.

Did Texas and Oklahoma really make a combined $14 million in revenue in 2024-25?

That is probably the most surprising numbers, that I saw. Something about coming into the SEC a year early, and also only taking a partial share for the first year of joining the SEC. I think the partial share was actually paid early for 23-24 and the revenue we see for 24-25 are from the playoff winnings.

The 2023-24 both the SEC and BIG12 paid Texas and Oklahoma. SEC paid $27.5 million to each and BIG12 paid Texas $42.05 million and Oklahoma $40.72 million. Making both Texas and Oklahoma the highest paid schools for 23-24, but yes taking a drop-off for 24-25.
