They can choose to join a conference, but this seems to be a preferred way to create revenue for themselves. I am sure it also helps with additional marketing and recruitment benefits.

Looks like you are correct. They we're getting 22 million per year on the deal that expired before the extension last year. How the new deal impacts recruiting or where that money goes...I have no idea. What I do know is they didn't spend 20+ million on building a super team to win the championship this season and the discrepancy between what they did spend on recruiting in comparison to Ohio State was miniscule
