Bowl payouts from Forbes - TerpsNPhoenix - 12-30-2017 08:22 PM

$54 million base payout (which includes $300,000 for each team which meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game)
$4 million for Ohio State's berth in the Cotton Bowl
$4 million for Penn State's berth in the Fiesta Bowl
$27.5 million for Wisconsin's berth in the Orange Bowl (pursuant to the Orange Bowl's contract, which places the highest ranked SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame team which isn't in the playoff against the highest-ranked ACC team not in the playoff)
Total: $89.5 million
Nice chunk of change for the B1G to go along with a pretty good bowl record so far.
