"We just take all our bowl money, put it together, and we distribute it fairly," said associate commissioner Nick Carparelli, adding that the league wants to make sure schools can cover their expenses.So, if I'm reading that article correctly, the only teams that receive Big East bowl money are the teams that went to bowls .... Seems fair.A I understand it, they split the rest of the bowl earnings equally among the 8 schools.  The Orange Bowl alone had a $17 million payout and the Gator $2.25.So, if my calculations are correct, we received arounf $2.9 million total from Big East bowl money, correct?

They used to get the full amount of the payout, but now they do not. I think that changed last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Willie_Jokes_Yet Posted January 24, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 515 Content Count: 7,379 Reputation: 28 Days Won: 3 Joined: 02/06/2002 Share Posted January 24, 2007 thing is I believe teams that did not go to bowl games receive the same money - revenues are split evenly among conference membersThis is incorrect. The 1.1 million was our allotment for this bowl game. If we had gone to the Gator I think it is 1.4 million. THe teams that dont go to a bowl dont get this money. We will get more money once the conference splits up the revenues from the bowl game. The 1.1 is JUST to help us cover the cost of the bowl. The conference then takes the money we get from the bowl and divides that up. Last year we got about 3 million more. THis is a GREAT part of being in a BCS conference.
