The new contract will pay the Big Ten and SEC 29% of the upcoming contract which works out to around $22 million per school. The ACC will receive 17% ($13-14 million per school) and the Big 12 gets around 15% ($12 million per school) and Notre Dame is also expected to receive about $12 million if they qualify for the playoffs. Five conference champions are guaranteed a spot with the last one going to the highest ranked team from an unspecified conference. The remaining seven at-large bids will go to the highest ranked teams. The two powerhouse leagues are pushing for a 14-team playoff which ESPN says could trigger extreme changes to financial payouts by conference. [/QUOTE]
