"Experts" are predicting that the Champions Bowl between the SEC and the Big 12 will be comperable, and the Orange Bowl will be lower. I am not sure how much I believe that. Assuming that the Big XII sends one team to the "Football Four," and the SEC sends two teams, the Champions bowl will consist of the #3 SEC team v. the #2 Big XII team (i.e. the winner of OU v. Oklahoma State). Assuming ND isn't good enough to make the "Football Four," and the ACC doesn't send a team, the Orange Bowl will be against the #1 ACC team and ND (assuming ND has a deal to play in the Orange Bowl). I find it hard to believe that Arkansas/South Carolina v. OU/OSU will have tangibly more viewers than FSU v. ND. Although, the time slot is different, so who knows? $80 million Rose Bowl payout divided by 2 conferences (PAC-12 and the B1G) equals $40 million a conference. $40 million divided by 12 schools per conference equals $3.33 to each school (not taking into account the conference's cut). However, even if the Orange Bowl signs a $60 million/yr deal, then, by playing ND, they could have a MUCH higher payout. The Orange Bowl could pay ND $7.5 million, and pay the ACC $52.5 million. ND would come out making more than twice as much as their SEC, Big XII*, PAC-12, and B1G counterparts, and ACC teams would make $52.5 million cut 14 different ways, which is $3.75 each, or almost half a million per team more than their SEC, PAC-12, B1G, and Big XII* counterparts. Both ND, and the ACC win. *I am assuming that the Champions Bowl will get the same payout as the Rose Bowl, and that the SEC will get a larger share than the Big XII, because 1. it brings in more money, and 2. it is a bigger conference.
