Revenue Distribution

2005 BCS Revenue Distribution


Teams and conferences participating in Bowl Championship Series games receive revenue from two sources - ABC Sports and the host bowls. The total revenue for the 2005 BCS games is projected to be $93,150,000. Of that amount, a minimum $4,920,000 is guaranteed to Conference-USA, the Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and Western Athletic Conferences for their participation in the arrangement. In addition, another $1,600,000 is guaranteed to Division I-AA conferences to support the overall health of college football. Over the eight-year BCS contract, more than $40 million in guaranteed payments will have been made to Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and Western Athletic Conferences and to the Division I-AA conferences.

Once the guaranteed annual payments are made, the remaining monies are initially split into six equal base shares (in 2004-05 each base share is worth $14,438,333) for the participants of the FedEx Orange Bowl, Nokia Sugar Bowl and Tostitos Fiesta Bowl [The Rose Bowl pays its participants directly through a separate contractual arrangement].

However, should a conference have more than one team participate in the BCS games (including the Rose Bowl) then the second participant does not receive a full share, but instead a reduced payment of $4,500,000. The difference between the full share payment, $14,438,333, and the second share payment of $4,500,000 ($9,938,333) is then divided among the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10, and Southeastern Conferences.

This formula allows for some fluctuation in payouts depending on the participants in the BCS games. The minimum payout would be $14,438,333 and that would occur if six different conferences or independent institutions were represented in the Tostitos Fiesta, Nokia Sugar and FedEx Orange Bowls. However, should no one outside the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10, and Southeastern Conferences be selected, the two conferences with two representatives would receive $22,251,111 and the other four conferences would receive $17,751,111.

The sample distribution listed below assumes all eight teams in the four BCS games are from the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10, and Southeastern Conferences, with the Rose Bowl hosting the Big Ten and Pacific-10 champions.

Sample 2005 BCS Distribution
Total Revenue: $93,150,000
Less Guaranteed Payments: $6,520,000
Net to BCS: $86,630,000
Base Share = $14,438,333 (86,630,000 divided by six participants in Tostitos Fiesta, FedEx Orange and Nokia Sugar Bowls)

Distribution:
Conference 1 (2 teams) $14,438,333 + $7,812,778 = $22,251,111
Conference 2 (2 teams) $14,438,333 + $7,812,778 = $22,251,111
Conference 3 (1 team) $14,438,333 + $3,312,778 = $17,751,111
Conference 4 (1 team) $14,438,333 + $3,312,778 = $17,751,111
Rose Bowl Participant (Big Ten) = $3,312,778
Rose Bowl Participant (Pac-10) = $3,312,778
Total: $86,630,000

NOTE: Second team from same conference receives $4,500,000.

Additional dollars ($28,876,666 - $9,000,000 = $19,876,666) are to be divided among the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10, and Southeastern Conferences ($3,312,778 per conference).

Big Ten and Pac-10 are paid directly by Rose Bowl for participation.
