And maybe how it compares to the other G5 conferences.

Pretty sure we got $4 Mil for NY6 bowl.

Quote:Teams selected for access bowls in years those bowls aren't hosting a semifinal receive $4 million each.

For the Group of Five, the base share is pooled between all five conferences and divided based on a revenue-sharing formula the conferences have agreed upon where the majority of funds are divided evenly between the conferences with a small percentage being divided according to performance.

AAC: Base + 4mil
G4: Base

The G5 shares its CFP funds using the following formula. The money pool is split into 3 portions. One portion is shared equally. One portion is awarded based on overall conference performance. One is awarded to the conference sending a team to the access bowl.

The equally shared pool is 50 million. It is distributed on the basis of 1 million per team up to a maximum of 10 million per conference.

The access bowl portion is 6 million I believe (a 4 million award plus 2 million for expenses if I remember correctly).

The performance based portion of the G5 pool is what is left after the 56 million above is subtracted from the total G5 share. This remaining money is divided into 15 equal shares. The top G5 conference gets 5 shares, the second best conference gets 4 shares, the 3rd best gets 3 shares, and so on.

Whats clear when you do the math is the Big East/AAC is the only conference that took a pay cut in going from the BCS to the CFP. Assuming an 85 million dollar G5 pool, the AAC can do no better than about 26 million and could potentially get as little as 11.9 million.

DON"T USE KRISTI DOSH'S FORBES ARTICLE AS A SOURCE. She didn't do any better than the 5-year old CFP press release - doesn't even have the total distributions right.

You can reverse engineer the $12.7M base, the $1.4M performance shares, and the $4M + $2M (NY6 expenses to the school, but via the conference) from those numbers.
