College Football Playoff: Conference Payouts

[GlennW]

ACC

$50 million base to the conference

$6 million to the conference for FSU (Rose Bowl – CFP semifinal)

$27.5 million to the conference for Georgia Tech (Orange Bowl)

Total: $83.5 million to the conference



Please note that GA Tech is bringing in over 25% of the total to the ACC, and that only the SEC is bringing in a larger total than our Conference because they have more members participating in Bowls than the ACC.

Never would've thought the Orange was greater than the Rose...and not by just a little bit.

The rose and the sugar pay out 40M per team when they are not semifinal games.

Why does the conference get 27 mil for the Orange and only 6 for the Rose?? Where the hell is all the TV revenue going for the Championship format. I don't understand. I hope some one can explain.

$50 million base for each P5 conference, covers all playoff games. An additional payout is made per team.

So then we only get 6 million $$ extra for making the playoffs. Interesting. How much more do we get if Free Seafood U makes it to the finals?

So most of the TV revenue from the playoff bowls is divided equally among the power 5 conferences. The non playoff bowls payout per contract??

Do teams get any money to cover direct expenses, travel, food, hotel or do they pay costs from the conference distribution to the teams?

Yes, the representing team gets a payout for expenses from the bowl and conference. My understanding is that the payout is $1.4 to 2.2 million.

So what do the conferences do with the money that they get from these bowls?

They divide it equally between all teams in their conference. Here's MBob explaining it on the Chuck and Chernoff show: http://stationcaster.com/player_skinned.php?s=87&c=17583&f=3735473

Also some other interesting things shared by MBob in there.

Also notice how/why Miss. State was bumped up above Mich. State so they could get into the OB. That means more revenue for the $EC. Mich. State only gets $4 mil while OB gets $27 mil.
