As you can see, the payouts are not exactly even in the ACC. They may try to make them as 'even' as possible, but some adjustments are made to compensate those teams who travel to Bowl games and to NCAA tourney sites.
Obviously the ACC payouts are more evenly distributed than the Big East payments were, but they are not as evenly distributed as the Big 10.
Pac 10 payouts are more in line with what the Big East does, as you can see USC's share is far larger than the others.
Big 12 and SEC payouts are somewhere between what the Big 10 and ACC try to do and what the Big East and Pac 10 do.
And as I stated in my post above, the Big East without Miami is lowering the incentive reward for the BCS team.
And even when Miami was in the league, taking 4.5 million off the top of the $16,562,222 the BCS gave the BE in 02-03 still left $12 million to be divided by the remaining 7 teams which is 1.71 million.
Cheers,
Neil
