$325 million a year, as quoted in the article below, is a really low-ball estimate. Add $100 million, and you might be right.
Where the SEC will really make a huge amount of money - and where the rest of Missouri's "$12 million more" figure comes from is the SEC network. It's going to happen. It's going to be just as big/successful as the Big Ten network.

I've heard whispers of $25-30MM per team for Tier 1 and 2 renegotiations, and $5-10MM per team initially for Tier 3 from the SEC Network. Of course the SEC Network's value will increase perpetually if it is successful because they will retain ownership.
