Message: [QUOTE="Moontan, post: 3025109, member: 166"] The math in that article is a bit funny. It takes the total amount for each conference and divides it by the number of schools in the conference. It doesn’t really work that way. Conferences tend to take a share, so the amounts should be divided by NumberOfSchools+1. The two “Big” conferences also don’t split things evenly among the schools. Their newer members don’t receive full shares. The B1G has another twist, in that schools put 40% of their net gate receipts in a pot that’s split by the schools. That’s a plus for smaller schools and those that don’t draw very well, but costs the biggest (O$U, PedState, Michigan, Wisconsin) quite a bit of change. [/QUOTE]
