Cincy in Military: $1 million
Houston in Armed Forces: $675,000
East Carolina in Birmingham: $900,000

Miami is TBA

Anyone know if these amounts are being distributed evenly, amongst bowl eligble teams only, on a weighted scale favoring those playing in the bowls, or not and kept solely by the bowl team who earned it?

Based on what I've understood in the past, bowl payouts are always distributed amongst the conference in some fashion. I would imagine that it isn't going to be an even scale and would indeed favor the teams that played in bowls.

Not sure how the conference handles the actual numbers though.

Ucf had to take a loss from the bcs game which blows my mind that teams that stayed home got a decent profit while we lose 1/2 million. Bowl revenue should just be split between bowl eligible teams.

That's fine. Just also make sure NCAA tourney credits only go to teams that make the dance...

It's not a problem, because almost none of us at our level make a profit, but I don't think those numbers show what you think they do.
