How does UT make so much money more than everyone else (60-70 million more in revenue than 2nd place)?
Is it their TV network? I don’t think their games would be any more expensive than Ohio state/Norte Dame/LSU?
Perhaps some accounting fraud to pip up their numbers 
?

The Longhorn cable TV network shut down when UT moved to the SEC.

Did it?
It was on TV at an Austin restaurant I went to for lunch last week.

The LHN was always a "Front " to get UT more media money than their Big 12 Conference mates as they never would have agreed to unequal shares
Even with it gone, im sure there is some fine print in there so they still get extra revenue from ESPN

The ESPN backed Longhorn Network ceased to exist when UT joined the SEC 7/1/24. UT rebranded the Longhorn Network as a free streaming service, with original content and interviews, but not live games.
The original Longhorn Network agreement had ESPN paying UT $300M over 20 years. If there was a lump sum settlement or some type of payment schedule, it has not been made public. I have been told, anecdotally, that some of the money ESPN owed UT helped UT pay the B12 exit fee.
