BCS Revenue Sharing Distribution

While members of the U.S. Congress focus on the legalities of the Bowl Championship Series – the most vocal critic being Senator Orrin Hatch – it’s doubtful any of the politicians know how the BCS distributes monies generated from bowl games.

You might be surprised to learn the non-Automatic Qualifying conferences received more money from BCS bowl games in 2008 than did the six power conferences, or the Automatic Qualifiers which comprise the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-10, Big 12, Big East and the SEC.

The Mountain West, Sunbelt, Mid-American, Conference USA and Western Athletic comprise the non-Automatic Qualifying conferences. In 2008, those conferences received 18% of the net BCS escrow revenue as a result of Utah’s appearance in the All-State Sugar Bowl.

Had none of the non-AQ conference teams earned a BCS bowl berth, the five conferences would have received 9% of the BCS revenue. The five conferences divide the revenue equally and then those monies are disbursed to each school.

According to NCAA figures, the Mountain West Conference received $9.8 million as a result of Utah’s participation in the All-State Sugar Bowl.

For comparison, the Las Vegas Bowl, which this year will be known as the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, had the highest distribution of any non-AQ conference’s contracted bowls in 2008, disbursing $1.8 million to its two participants combined.

This is the breakdown of BCS Revenue Sharing Distribution for the 2008 season. The 2009 revenue distribution is expected to be similar.

1. Non-Automatic Qualifying Conferences – $19.3 million.

2. Automatic Qualifying Conferences – $17.8 million.

3. Football Championship Subdivision (Formally Division 1-AA conferences) – $1.8 million.

4. Notre Dame – $1.3 million.

5. Each conference with two teams in the BCS – $4.5 million.

6. Army and Navy – $100,000 each.

    The figures posted are incomplete and misleading. They are corrected below….changes in all caps.

    This is the breakdown of BCS Revenue Sharing Distribution for the 2008 season. The 2009 revenue distribution is expected to be similar.

    1. Non-Automatic Qualifying Conferences – $19.3 million TOTAL DIVIDED BETWEEN THE 5 NON-BCS CONFERENCES.

    2. Automatic Qualifying Conferences – $17.8 million FOR EACH OF THE 6 BCS CONFERENCES.

    3. Football Championship Subdivision (Formally Division 1-AA conferences) – $1.8 million.

    4. Notre Dame – $1.3 million.

    5. Each conference with two teams in the BCS – $4.5 million.

    6. Army and Navy – $100,000 each.

    If you’ll note, which you apparently didn’t, I used “conferences” in the plural to indicate all non-automatic qualifiers. I also included a paragraph – again which you obviously didn’t read – indicating that the monies represented for the non-aq and automatic qualifiers was divided evenly among the teams representing each conference.

    In other words, you wasted a lot of time.
