Message: [QUOTE="CuseOnly, post: 1220152, member: 2804"] This USA Today article does a good job of explaining it. [url]http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/bowls/2012/12/11/college-football-bcs-playoff-revenue-money-distribution-payouts/1762709/[/url] Using a figure of $500 million, the 10 FBS conferences will split about $350-375 million of which the P5 gets 71.5% meaning the P5 will split about $260 million. This does not include the "host bowl" contract money. If you divide the 260 million out between the P5 teams (64) equally it would be about $4 mil per team. Add the host bowl money and the $6 million for the team playing and it is a shlit-ton of money. EDIT: how the conferences divide up the loot is not very clear so I just figured for reference the $$ as an average for the P5. [/QUOTE]
