How about a little more proof that the SEC is king?

Earlier today the league tweeted a blog link breaking down the Top 15 media rights packages in the country. Predictably, the SEC holds seven of the top 15 spots as posted to the "Leather Helmet Blog."

Arkansas ranks No. 12 on the list with its 10-year deal with ISP valued at $73 million overall. ISP is contracted to generate $7.3 million for the Razorbacks annually.

"Leather Helmet Blog" appears to have gotten the breakdown from a message board. That would ordinarily give us some pause on the validity, but the SEC's PR office called attention the link, so you'd have to think the information is accurate.

Arkansas' totals are in line with news reports on its deal with ISP.
