Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4039102, member: 3609"] IIRC, each bowl's payout is divided into 16 equal shares. ACC HQ gets a 1/16 share (which helps defray the costs of running ACC championships in other sports). Each member school gets a 1/16 share and the participating team gets its membership 1/16, plus an additional 1/16 for being in that bowl (1/8 total). As part of its agreement with the ACC, ND does not get any money from ACC bowl participation. It gets to keep all of whatever payout it gets from going to a bowl. It can get its own bid to the Orange Bowl as the opponent of the ACC Champ. Despite what was in some bowl projections a few years ago, ND cannot bump the ACC Champ out of the OB (moot point this year because the OB is part of the CFP). It can bump another ACC team out of an ACC slot in the other bowls provided it is within 1 win of the team being bumped. [/QUOTE]
