Revenue distribution & BCS rankings all included.

Boom nice job ULL and stAte

From the article:

Quote:Also beginning next season, the highest ranked of those 59 schools -- as decided by the selection committee -- will get an automatic berth in one of the four playoff bowls below the two national semifinals.

Interesting, I was unaware there is going to be a spot for non-AQ teams. Is this legit?

Quote:The Sun Belt led those leagues, taking in almost $4 million in BCS revenue. However, the MAC went from potentially first among the non-automatic qualifying conferences to last among the four when it lost an undefeated Northern Illinois in the MAC championship game, then went 0-5 in bowl games.
...
The revenue difference between first and last among those four conferences was significant, approximately $1.7 million. The Mountain West was second in the revenue distribution taking in $3.4 million. The MWC was followed by Conference USA ($2.8 million) and MAC ($2.28 million).

If it is divided only among the football schools, that is $500,000 for the SBC's eight schools, though I do believe WKU won't see any of that. So it may be closer to $550,000.

MWC - $283,333 per team
C-USA - $200,000 per team, though ECU, Tulane and Tulsa probably won't have a claim to the dough.
MAC - $175,000 per team

That's pretty impressive. Also, if the payout per team moves to $1,000,000 per team, UTA better get off it ace. $100,000 is a rounding error in a typical SBC budget. ten times that and it becomes potentially solvent.

Yes. And in the SB Nation thread, the author of the story, Kirk, has the Cajuns in that slot!!!

Ojala!

This news goes mysteriously unposted on the CUSA board, I suspect it's hard to type with a mouth full of crow.

SBC Members should get more with WKU leaving, who will not be receiving any money. Same thing happened in the WAC. SJSU and USU were in bowls in 2012, So NMSU and Idaho received money this year from those bowls. That is why Idaho kept its oly sports in the WAC.

Correct. WKU forfeits its share of SBC TV and NCAA revenue by leaving the league for this year only.

Nice article except them giving credit to Benson he has done nothing for the SBC. But its nice to see the league make a little money. A-State and UL did good but its the rest of the league not being ranked below 100 that sealed the deal. So I saying we all did it together as a league Congrats SBC. For once we can pat each other on the back. Thanks team for coming through.

And if I am not mistaken, teams entering conferences aren't going to get a full share either, so UNT, FIU, FAU and MTSU won't see half as much as current SBC teams.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is partially what I am talking about when I say it may not make sense to leave the SBC for C-USA in the future. And that is before any potential TV contract renewal. At 14 teams, C-USA just has too many mouths to feed and they collectively have a history of mediocrity.

Or more like this:



The ladies over there are easily riled.

The Sun Belt just needs to continue to have OOC success and schedule wisely. Having 3 body bag games which are all but guaranteed losses really hurts the chance to be the number 1 nonAQ league. If the Belt can repeat this success for a few years the perception will slowly begin to change.

The perception IS changing, yeah, it's slow, but we're headed in the right direction.

I wonder whether this will impact at all on the appeal of the conference for any FBS hopeful
for instance, wasn't JMU looking at the MAC over the Sun Belt?

So is that 4 million split between 7 schools? WKU and basketball schools don't get a piece. Idaho/NMSU/App/Ga So not in yet? I am terrible at math but doesn't that come out to about 671k per team? Let the conference have the 71 x 7 and the change for about 500k. The other teams all get 600k. Plus about 100k for TV plus probably another 50k or so for bowl revenue after UL and ASU get their money for expenses, That ain't half bad! I will gladly take 750k in the Sun Belt when you factor in less travel costs. I will be more than happy in this conference even with our dip$h1t commish.

We should send him to Coosa. They're on the brink of needing his services.

Do we really want 12 teams and a championship game? I would rather stay at 10, give NMSU and ultimatum. Come in all sports ortake off. Ditch Idaho. 10 full members, UALR and UTA non football Nice and tidy. If NMSU doesn't want in, tell Missouri State and JMU it's 2 million to join and 5 million to leave. Take it or leave it. We don't need you to be successful. We don't have to beg anyone to join

If the new money max out per conference at 12
and with CUSA at 14
Could the sun belt lure southern miss?
They could be placed in the east but be completely accessible to the west

Yes sir, it is! Glad to be here.

This is why we shouldn't rush to get a crappy 12th member just for the sake of having a championship game. We've got a couple of excellent new members coming in and we should give them time to adjust before adding more members. If you add a school like Sam Houston State, then you just ran off A-State, UL, and Texas St...
