Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 338304, member: 302"] Bees, perhaps this will be a better explanation. Take the Rose Bowl for example...it must be split 50-50 among the Pac 12 and B1G. That is $40 million each conference. Now the Orange Bowl...say it gets only $60 million...the ACC decides how to divy up with competitor. So far there is no other bowl out there giving $10 million per team except Rose and Champion; so ACC offers $10 million to competitve team in Orange Bowl...the ACC gets $50 million...and what do you know it is more than either the the teams/conferences in the other two major bowls. We do not know what the Orange Bowl will actually get but 75% of other two major bowls...seems reasonable. Fact is, would the B1G, SEC, Pac 12, Big 12 or Notre Dame turn down up to $10 million to play in OB with their second-third team in conference...and always OB can choose anyother team in top 12...I think OB and ACC sitting pretty....more to come soon.
