Group of five to share playoff revenue
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...ue-sharing
Looks like they are taking a three "tiered" approach.
In this proposed system, more than half the group's roughly $86-million playoff pot would be distributed among the Big East, Mountain West, Mid-American Conference, Conference USA and Sun Belt as guaranteed base shares, according to a source with direct knowledge of the discussions. The source expects those shares to be evenly split, but added discussions are ongoing.
The second tier pays out based on a conference's body of work -- the top conference gets the highest amount, then “X” amount for the next-rated conference, and on down.
The third tier pays a kicker to the conference with the highest-ranked team, which is guaranteed an access bowl bid or, if among the top-four teams in the country, a semifinal berth in the playoff.
One other tidbit we already know:
"Tulsa is an attractive candidate inside Big East offices to pair with Navy as a 12th team in 2015, one league source said."
