How does SEC TV money show up in Gators recruiting?

The question

Does a cited SEC / College Football Playoff media-rights dollar (or escalator) show up in a Florida football commit, portal win, or hold — or is “conference affiliation” only a 2023 pillar quote?

Why it matters

SCOPE explicitly includes “how NIL / TV money shows up in recruiting.” The seed pass fetched no current SEC media-rights figure and no named recruit tied to a TV check.

What we currently believe

Unfetched. Closest official wording is Stricklin (11 Apr 2023) listing “conference affiliation” next to NIL as a success pillar. From 2026-08-21-autoresearch-florida-gators-football-recruiting.

Evidence we have

• From 2026-08-21-autoresearch-florida-gators-football-recruiting: Stricklin — facilities, academics, conference affiliation, geography, coaches, and NIL.

Evidence we need

• A dated SEC distribution or CFP TV figure from a page we can fetch.
• A recruiting reporter or official tying that figure to a Florida football roster decision.

How to resolve

Fetch the SEC’s current media-rights / distribution note, then look for a Florida-specific recruiting use — not a general NIL-industry piece.
