Rumors are that as of today it's $300 million.

The NFL pays less than $300m per team. I doubt it’s even $100m per team.

This will give some a chuckle:

I can’t wait to see what the benchmarks will be to move up an entire conference and how different they are from “already be a P5 conference”. 

"Have 20 teams that average 2.5 million viewers per game" would be sufficient.

The OCS is for the current students and their experience as a USF student. There is something special about waking Saturday late morning, getting together with your friends and going to tailgate and watch a football game just a walking distance from your dorms. It’s about alumni coming back to the campus and sharing stories and memories with friends and family. This is what is special about an OCS and why RJS is not sufficient. The OCS is needed regardless of what conference we are in. 

I question if the students will show up to the expensive OCS if USF football is not seen as "Big Time."

The television rights are currently 12 more years of more than $30 million per year... $300 million may be on the low side.

What would winning a conference championship this year do? Which we won’t by the way

Conference championship means we have a good, probably ranked team and maybe NY6 bowl. Which leads to an increase in interest for TV viewership in Tampa Bay. Which demonstrates value in Tampa Bay market. Which shows value of a good USF team in terms of TV money. 

Winning and TV exposure is what got UCF in the P6 was it not? Definitely wasn't their ******** stadium.

That would be a win for USF, would love to pull UCF back into the crab bucket.

I was thinking have a tv contract within 10 percent of the lowest P5, also have fun with that now that you are officially a minor league product.

Dennis Dodd says solid 8 figures.
