PapaJohns Payout

[JoeB]

is only $300 K.  I realize we split moneys in the conference, but this payout for a bowl game is ridiculous.  The Car Care Bowl as an example pays over twice the amount (750 K).  Anyone else notice the low payout?

NCAA site says it's 750K...

Hmmm.  Interesting.  I think I read it on ESPN that it was only 300 K.  Seems there is some conflicting figures.  750 K makes more sense, since most of the pre New Years bowls are in this range.

[BULLfreak]

i thought that 300k was alittle low

[TampaTower]

Big East gives USF 1.1m for the game

[aly20xx]

[sdgukhsdgl]

I thought they did away with the minimum.

See link on how/why NCAA approved new lower bowl payouts (PapaJohns.com Bowl and Texas Bowl for Big East).

Also...toward the end...it shows how the Big East will split up all their Bowl $$$$$.

Yep, this is where I saw it.  Good thing the Big East redistributes the money.  300 K wouldn't cover much.
