Message: [QUOTE="Btstimpy, post: 902616, member: 2043"] I think those bowl payouts for the Sugar and Orange are divided more. The SEC gets half of that $80 million for the Sugar Bowl, and the team playing in it for the Big XII probably gets half of their $40 million split. So the rest of the league would split $20 million or so. Same with the ACC and its $55 million in the Orange Bowl. The ACC would get half when the other team is SEC or Big Ten and more than half when it is Notre Dame. If the ACC keeps putting 11 teams in bowls, the ACC bowl payouts will swell pretty large. I listened to an interview on Tim Brando with Bob Huggins yesterday. He basically came out and said that he and the WVU fans aren't excited about Big XII basketball. The fans can't travel to games like they could in the Big East, so he's trying to schedule Pitt, Rutgers, etc. He sort of longed for the days of the Big East. The travel for his basketball team has to be a strain. [/QUOTE]
