If I recall correctly, unequal distributions was one of the reasons cited by Miami when leaving the Big East and Nebraska when leaving the Big 12.  While I am in favor of schools receiving extra money to cover the costs of competing in a bowl game or the NCAA tournament, providing these schools additional revenue over and above the costs creates "haves" and "have nots" which can create discord among the conference members.  Further, does this push schools down the SEC path  (allegedly) - spreading around a couple of hundred thousand dollars to players to get over the hump and make a BCS Bowl/Playoffs where the real money can be made?  
 
Another issue arises when a school allegedly breaks NCAA rules to make a bowl game or the tournament.  Does the school have to refund the additional money to the conference?  What if a key player on the team scored the winning touchdown against SU, making them ineligible to play in a bowl and it was later determined the player should have been academically ineligible?  Does SU get more money?
 
Competition for revenue should be at the conference level, not the school level.  To have otherwise can create acrimony between the member schools and a reason to bend the rules.
