Based on research, the G5 conferences will receive 27.5% of the "Pot of Money". Estimates I have seen put that as much as $95 million. I assume that gets divided up 5 ways (AAC, CUSA, MAC, SB, and MWC) with the G5 Rep conference receiving slightly more.

Question: Does the G5 conference with the representative team receive a bigger % or bonus than the other G5 conferences? Also, does the top AAC team receive more than the other AAC teams for being the G5 rep assuming things play out and ECU is the rep? :)

Also, is the Peach or Fiesta Bowl payout higher now? And is it in addition to the 27.5% of the pot?

Looks like $4 Million extra for the Peach or Fiesta for the conference with a representative.

The article doesn't answer your question. Anyone know?

If the payout for all G5 conferences is $95 million and the conference office doesn't keep any $ (which is probably an unrealistic expectation), that's +/$1.5 million per AAC member. $95/5/12

I found this...

From multiple sites that Ive read, this seems to be what was finalized.

So each AAC member will receive about $1 million... plus another $1 million.... if ECU makes one of the access bowls. Is that right?

That's what I remember--6 million to the conference that gains an access bowl. Then 1 million per team per conference with a cap of 12 million. Then the rest is split into 15 equal shares and is distributed based upon conference performance. The best conference gets 5 shares, the second best gets 4 shares, third gets 3 shares, 4th gets 2, and the bottom conference gets one share.

I guess the real question is will the Sun Belt or the MAC get 1 share?

Or Temple/UCF.

This article suggests that in the first year, the G5 will divide $75M base pay plus $4M for placing a team in a non-playoff bowl ($6M if we make a semifinal).

Conferences will also receive $300K for each member who is APR eligible for a bowl game.

So, if all our schools are APR eligible, we finish as the best conference, and our champ gets selected, we would receive:

$12M base pay
5/15 of $15M or $5M performance pay
$3.3M in APR pay
$4M in access bowl pay

For a total of $24.3M.

The worst G5 conference will receive at least $16M assuming it has at least 10 schools which are APR eligible for bowls.

PS Army, Navy & BYU split $922K. I assume they also get APR pay. So they will receive about $600K per year each if they don't make an access bowl.

Hey BYU - join the American and earn an extra $1.4M a year!! Navy did!!

I (almost) don't give a who makes it. As long as they're from the AAC. But ECU would be the best result, from a national level.

Thanks. Great information. Looks like BYU already receives $4.8 to $7.2 million on their current TV deal with ESPN which runs through 2018. Basically 800k to 1.2 million per home game.

Enticing them to come to the American would mean we need to get our collective number up to at least $8 to $10 Million per team.

Hopefully this is what Aresco is focused on at this point (increased revenue) but if the AAC loses 4 teams in the next few years due to realignment then it is all a moot point. I could see 4 of our AAC teams getting the call to a big money conference. Not only that let's say he pulls a rabbit out of the hat, do all of our teams sign a GOR to lock us in or face a huge exit fee?? So many questions.

Well for now, GO AMERICAN!

I'll take that a step farther.

As long as Marshall doesn't fraud their way there with the worst schedule in the history of D1a 60 teams could probably go undefeated vs.

If they go on that schedule that makes all G5's look bad it's such a joke.

The Playoff Committee will have to take Marshall's lower tier G5/FCS Schedule into consideration. Sends the wrong message to schedule down on your opponents and have that rewarded with an Access Bowl slot. Should be based on the body of work for the G5 Rep teams. Should you really reward Marshall for beating up teams they should beat up?

Sorry for them this year but the G5 Rep will be from the American unless one of us drops another 1 or 2 games. Granted, I realize Marshall made this schedule many years ago and Louisville backed out this year but even then Louisville would not have been a ranked opponent for them this year. Marshall AD better step up and start scheduling P5 opponents as OOC games or CUSA may always be on the outside looking in.

I am so glad ECU is in the American since the G5 Rep will come from our conference or the MWC 90% of the time. There is a reason the American and MWC are the development leagues for the P5.

Wanna take a stab at this pay + tv revenue + smaller bowl payout + NCAA credits? It'd be nice to see a best case scenario revenue generated and compare that to the other G5 conferences.

So basically we get as much by going to an Access Bowl as we would playing a road game against Michigan or Ohio State...well, if it's free money then gimme some of dat.

x2. Please

^ none of that even includes the 100 million dollar "war chest" of abandoned NCAA credits, exit and entrance fees...

that is being split 60-40 (old/new school) over the next 5 years, starting with the cycle that began July 1 2014.
