$54,975,274 AAC
$53,124,368 MWC
$48,604,516 MAC
$41,797,284 CUSA
$41,661,435 SBC
Each of those 3 year totals are less than what any P5 conference receives in 1 year. There is no P6. There is no G4.
Here are facts.
1. Money wise the AAC will not separate itself from the nonP5 league's until the CFP/ Bowls contract gets redone and until the league's tv contract is done. We are all working on old contracts when the league was at its weak point and those are fixed until the time runs out.
2. What the league is doing right now is creating the perception in actual on the field results and in the publics eyes that would lead to changes in the next contracts.
So the league can separate itself from the others but money wise it won't show until those contracts run out.
No here are the facts-
The revenue sharing model of the BCS era ('98-'13) looked like this-
80% - current P5 (16% ea.)
20% - Big East (16%) + G4 (4%)
The revenue sharing model of the CFP era ('14-'25) looks like this-
80% - current P5 (16% ea.)
20% - current G5 (4% ea.)
This clearly shows the brilliant evilness of the P5, they used the new contract to-
1. Destroy their 6th competitor,
2. Scatter its remains among the poor half with the false appearance of sharing more,
3. And did all of this without losing a single % point for themselves.
For there to be a "P6" again in 2026 one of two things will have to happen-
1. the G5 will agree to give 75% of its share to 1 team. -OR-
2. the P5 will voluntarily sacrifice some of their own percentage points so they can create a 6th equal competitor.
You have to understand, the FBS is all about creating a sports league that is LESS competitive, not more. Its a rigged, good ol boys network where only a chosen few legacy programs will ever be allowed to compete for a championship, regardless of their on-field results. If you think being successful as a G5 will get you rewarded with an invite to the club then you aren't paying attention. Success by those that are not chose is NOT rewarded in this system, its feared. Ask Boise State.
If you truly want a better situation then you should focus on changing a corrupt system, not trying to exploit it for yourselves. I know you don't want to admit it but you can't get what you want without the rest of the G5 getting it too. Your messaging is all wrong, you should be uniting, not dividing.
