Conference Post-Season Revenue

[UPitt '89]

CFP Money:
- Each of the P5 conferences receives $50 million from the CFP
- Each of the G5 conferences receives $18 million from the CFP
- Notre Dame receives $3.75 million from the CFP.
- BYU and Army receive $1.85 million from the CFP.

The above... plus the bowl money each team gets... is put into a pool and split among the teams in each conference. The ACC has full revenue sharing, meaning each of the 14 teams get an equal share.

Per team payouts for this season, based on the bowls each league has a team in:

Big 12: $7,386,250
PAC 12: $5,993,229
Big Ten: $5,909,821
SEC: $5,749,107
ACC: $5,219,642

AAC: $2,307,292
MW: $1,889,063
SB: $1,881,818
MAC: $1,679,808
CUSA: $1,660,576

Notre Dame: $7,750,000
BYU: $3,200,000
Army: $1,850,000


In addition... the two teams that make the championship game get $2 million each for expenses that is NOT shared with the rest of their conference.

Basically.... Pitt is getting a $5,219,642 check..... and so is every other team in the ACC. Clemson can get an addition $2,000,000 check if they win against Oklahoma.

 

[UPitt '89]

This is also why you don't see the B12 in a hurry to add two teams. They each get a bigger share, especially in years like this year when they have a CFP team.

The P12 also benefits from having only 12 teams instead of 14. So even in a year like this one where they don't have a CFP team, their payouts are still north of $5 million per team.

A question? Lets just say if PITT sells its total ticket allotment that's money in the PITT bank as opposed to not selling the ticket allotment correct?

Question - Does the AAC get anything extra for Houston making the Peach Bowl? I thought whichever G5 conference got a team into the access bowl got some kind of bonus.

 

[UPitt '89]

A question? Lets just say if PITT sells its total ticket allotment that's money in the PITT bank as opposed to not selling the ticket allotment correct?

Pitt buys the entire 7,333 allotment.... and then gets the money back by selling the tickets. The cost of any ticket Pitt doesn't sell gets eaten by Pitt.

 

[UPitt '89]

Question - Does the AAC get anything extra for Houston making the Peach Bowl? I thought whichever G5 conference got a team into the access bowl got some kind of bonus.

Yes. The bowl payout is $4 million for each team in a NY6 bowl. That's why the AAC's average payout is higher than the other G5 conferences this year.

 

[PITTLAW]

A question? Lets just say if PITT sells its total ticket allotment that's money in the PITT bank as opposed to not selling the ticket allotment correct?

Not really. Each ACC team submits expenses from bowl attendance to the league and the league pays its members based upon their revenue sharing agreement. If teams do not sell their contracted allotment based upon the league contract with the bowl, any shortfall is deducted/held back from the pay out the league receives. It is obviously better for the ACC if their members sell tickets--as it means the bowls pay the league the full payout. Hail to Pitt!

Quick question.

Are you factoring in the BIG, SEC, Big XII and Pac 12 getting their avg of $40MM per conference for the Sugar/Rose bowl this year and the Orange NOT getting their $27.5MM because it is hosting a playoff game?

I would think the ACC would be lower this year and the other conferences higher by a decent amount.

ACC got paid their Orange bowl payment last year while the other 4 didn't get paid as the Rose and Sugar hosted the playoff.

Nevermind.... my answer was incorrect. Here's what the bowl payout was LAST season (2014):

SEC: $87.5 million
ACC: $83.5 million
P12: $60 million
B1G; $60 million
B12: $58 million

This year.... the P12, B1G, SEC, and B12 will make more, because the Rose and Sugar are not part of the playoff. Next year, all five conferences will make about the same, because the playoff semifinals are the Fiesta and Peach, which aren't tied to any conference. Then back to the 2014 model where the Rose and Sugar are part of the playoff so the B12, B1G, and P12 make less again.

 

[ThePanthers]

For the non contract/playoff payouts. Then you have the contract bowls, the sugar, Rose and Orange.

http://espn.go.com/college-football...ish-orange-bowl-share-1375-million-new-format

In the years the Rose/Sugar do not host a college football semifinal, they will pay the participating conferences on average $40M each. The Rose gets the BIG and Pac 12, the Sugar the Big XII and SEC.

The Orange will pay out $55M or $27.5M a piece for the ACC and the selection of the BIG/SEC/ND.
In the years ND is picked they will get $13.5MM while the ACC gets $41.5MM.

The years the host the semifinal, those payments won't be made.

The non contract bowls/playoff payment is as you described above.

You are missing a big piece for the Rose/Sugar bowls this year. ACC made out last year with the Orange. Next year, they will all be in the contract bowls, while the Peach and Fiesta host the semifinal.

Those will go in this rotation every 3 years.

That's really where the ACC falls behind over the 12 years. It helps they are getting multiple in the NY6 so far (some said they never would).
But the contract bowls push the B10/SEC far ahead in guaranteed money with the ACC 5th.

The Pac and Big XII lose out because they lose more in the years the Sugar/Rose host the playoffs, but that is made up with fewer teams to split.

The SEC/BIG have the opportunity to get the Orange split to make up for the missing revenue.

However, over the 12 years it averages out to (per year per team):

Big XII - $2.67MM
BIG - $2.56MM
SEC - $2.56MM
Pac 12 - $2.22MM
ACC - $1.31MM

That is assuming the BIG and SEC both make the Orange 4 years each, and ND doesn't make the Orange at all.

 

[ClarkLotTgate]

we didn't send a team to the Quicklane Bowl or our two "affiliated bowls" in St. Pete and Birmingham. I'd assume if we sent teams to those, then the payout would be slightly better since those bowls $ would go into the pool.

Thank you for some facts, info, and sanity on Bowl Payouts and Shared by The Conference.

The Conferences also help pay for the expenses to go to the Bowls.

Beating Navy will gain Pitt recognition as much as beating A&M, WSU, ASU, Indiana as I see it? But others can differ and so be it!

Why do the big shots let Notre Dame make over 7 million? This is just plain wrong. Join a frickin' conference.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

I agree every team should be in a conference!
So you little freakin Leprechauns pick one of the five!
But it better be the ACC you know wat I mean or we got trouble! Or don't go thru no tollbooths capiche!

It also shows why Notre Dame is in no hurry to join the ACC for football. It could mean a big cut in FB revenue. Why would they trade $7,750,000 for [(5,219,000 x 14) + 7,750,000) /15)] which is about 5,387,000 ?

While I agree in a sense, they'd have to pretty much be a top 10 team every year to get that payout. If they don't make a NYD6 bowl they get far less revenue.

 

[ClarkLotTgate]

right, last year they didn't make anywhere near that much.
High Risk: High Reward

Clemson win against Oklahoma. So precious.
