Top earners by conference:

Big Ten: $46 million (Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, Indiana)
SEC: $26 million (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee)
Independent: $20 million (Notre Dame)
ACC: $8 million (SMU, Clemson)
Big 12: $8 million (Arizona State)
Mountain West: $8 million (Boise State)

ND gets to keep it all and buy next years qb. Big winner

Big ten splits that about what 18 different ways?

B12 and Sec splits theirs 16 ways.

ACC is 17. No wonder, Clemson and Florida State want out. 2/3 of the conference has no chance ever ever ever. That puts a lot of pressure on Miami Clemson Florida state to produce year after year.

This is assuming they all have equitable splits. Schools like Purdue and Vanderbilt and West Virginia are laughing their butts off, not having to do any extra work or spend any extra money and collecting a check. I don’t get that Bunch of socialists. Should be like Notre Dame. Where their leader and religion all talks about communism and socialism. And then they just act like greedy capitalists

It would appear the big loser or losers this year would be the ACC and big 12. Both present themselves as power five conferences and wound up with just as much money as the mountain west. And looking at those three conferences, it would appear that if the rules are the same as most of the others each conference member took home a half $1 million. You used to get more than that from the freedom bowl

The big winner is Notre Dame pocketing 20 million

The SEC teams look like they get to take home about 1.5 million each

The Big Ten teams look like they get about 2.5 million each

So for all the chest beating on a per school basis, there’s not a whole lot of difference in revenue. If Michigan feels like they fell behind they just have to get a hold of Larry Ellison‘s wife and she’ll write a check. If Oregon feels behind Phil Knight can write million dollar checks in his sleep

They could always get a hold of USC’s NIL if they need money, they can scrounge through the seat cushions and come up with a million of $10 off coupons for Dr. Dre headphones

Hey Java, does that 46 million reflect any of the dollars that the pac 12 gets due to their obligation with the rose bowl for the next two years? I read it was like 100 million total.

Replying to

That’s what each conference earned just by being in the playoff. For each round. Added up based on their wins.

Given that the rose bowl is Part of the playoff that’s a very good question Especially given both participants in that game were conference teams. B10.

I think you might be mixing things up with the rose bowl and $100 million. I had thought the pac had that much coming to them from past tv payouts and such and the exiting members wanted to take it with them and weren’t allowed to

I take it that you missed MF's comment re taking a portal QB for next season.

I know this will shock you but I don’t tune in to Marcus’s press conferences or interviews

With ND it's feast or famine. With Marcus Freeman I think it will be mostly feast.

Certainly is this year

Especially if they schedule like they did this year.

The tougher games are Texas A&M, Univ of Miami, Boise State and it would help if SC was better than 7-6 next year. Just joking, I know you are almost as old as me. Also Arkansas another 7-6 team plus 4 ACC teams plus Navy.
