Conference television deals typically include the sharing of television revenue amongst the conference's member universities. The most common revenue sharing system, especially in conferences with much more valuable deals, is typically unequal, skewed in favor of the more successful teams. The STC, Mid 14, Orix-12, Cathay, and St. John's conferences use this method. While mainly intended to incentivize competition between the conferences' member teams regardless of talent, unequal revenue sharing had inadvertently created the opposite, as the universities' recently-found abilities to pay their players had led to even greater advantages for more successful schools for player recruiting and general marketing. | Conference television deals typically include the sharing of television revenue amongst the conference's member universities.

Equal revenue sharing is used by the SCC, the PAC, the Mountain, the Cronan, the EAC, the SCAC, and independent schools. Typically, these conferences had remained more stable during the [[2012–2013 OIAA conference realignment|conference realignment wave in 2012–2013]], as the guarantee of stable revenue from the equal revenue sharing deals were regarded as a safer option for the member universities, even if the amount is not as much as a power conference.

In 2023, [[Puerta Oeste University]] left the Cronan Athletic Conference for the Songun Coast Conference exactly 1 second after the end of the Cronan's then-deal with QBC, which had also been in the process of renewal. Puerta Oeste University president Oscar Ati'ikas famously claimed in a press conference that the university could earn more revenue than "half of the SCC." In the 2023 season, Puerta Oeste finished 2–10 and wen 0–9 in conference play, and the university had earned less television revenue than in the previous season in the Cronan. | ||
It is often remarked that major South Cronan television networks and the individual conferences split control over college sports in the region, and they typically employ a checks-and-balances system on each other, as to not prevent a conference/network from attempting to form a monopoly. | It is often remarked that major South Cronan television networks and the individual conferences split control over college sports in the region, and they typically employ a checks-and-balances system on each other, as to not prevent a conference/network from attempting to form a monopoly. | ||
