Why not just divide the money up equally among the 8 football playing members, with perhaps the only conference champion getting more money b/c of performance?

Big East has always believed in the capitalist point of view - that those who earn the money should get a little bit more. When Miami was aboard it went to the extreme (something like 4 million simply for finishing first). Now its a lot less, but still an incentive and helps defray the traveling expenses of going to a bowl game.

I've always thought that the travel costs should come out before any "revenue sharing" occurs, anyway.

I should also say that I like the Pac-10's view, which is that the team going gets 50% of the bowl revenue and the remaining 50% is split evenly between the other conference members as well as the conference office.
