[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 1003553, member: 1555"] This won’t end the debate over what revenue distribution is fair, but being an engineer, I attempted to take another objective view of this by answering the following question: Based on their [I]2024 [/I]Conference members, what percentage would each conference have contributed to a 14-team playoff over the past 20 seasons? This approach relates to media revenue associated with the CFP, although it ignores relative fanbase size which tends to favor the SEC and B1G. Another thing I didn’t take the time to do was to make the CFP placements weighted by rank. This would have favored the SEC and B1G even more. [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Conf.[/TD] [TD]Ave teams/yr[/TD] [TD]Contribution[/TD] [TD]Payout[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]SEC[/TD] [TD]4.7[/TD] [TD]34%[/TD] [TD]29%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]B1G[/TD] [TD]4.1[/TD] [TD]29%[/TD] [TD]29%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ACC[/TD] [TD]2.1[/TD] [TD]15%[/TD] [TD]17%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]B12[/TD] [TD]2.25[/TD] [TD]16%[/TD] [TD]15%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ND[/TD] [TD]0.4[/TD] [TD]3%[/TD] [TD]1%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]G5 (total)[/TD] [TD]0.45[/TD] [TD]3%[/TD] [TD]9%[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Aside from the G5, where the payout gets diluted substantially by their 65 schools, there is one clear winner – the ACC. Another thing to note is that the ACC’s playoff appearances were boosted by Stanford’s run in the early teens. We need to remember we are discussing an entertainment business revenue model here. I see nothing in the payout percentages for the ACC to complain about. Conferences are not equal for revenue purposes. [/QUOTE]
