"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Schools in the Big Ten Conference are expected to receive a $25.7 million payout from the conference this year, including $7.6 million from the Big Ten television Network, reports the &lt;em&gt;St. Louis Post-Dispatch&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those figures came from documents obtained from the University of Illinois. Illinois reaped record benefits last year, collecting $24.6 million, including a record $8.1 million from the Big Ten Network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Southeastern Conference recently announced a deal with ESPN to create a national network that could mean big payouts worth as much as $30 million to each institution in the 14-team conference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from the Post-Dispatch:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last year Illinois received $24.6 million, including a record $8.1 million from BTN. Annual figures are fairly consistent throughout the league, which has a balanced revenue sharing system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This year schools in the Big Ten are expected to receive $19 million in television revenue with $10.9 million coming from ESPN/ABC, $7.6 million from the BTN and the remainder from CBS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
