It's going to be really interesting, in large part because the TV deals conferences have started to get have really undermined the reliance on BCS bowl money as a source of revenue for the major conferences. Sure, they like it, but when large conferences are getting billion dollar TV contracts, the money from the BCS is a drop in the bucket.

The Pac 12's new TV deal will bring in over $20 million per school per year, and that's only from their deal with ESPN and Fox; add in whatever their own network will bring them, and you're talking tens of millions of dollars from TV revenue alone every year for each school. The Pac 10 brought in $28 million total from the BCS last year, less than $3 million per school and roughly 1/8th the amount they'll get from the TV deal they just signed.

The Playoff PAC is an organization that needs support to bust up the BCS. Please support them if you can...

I would like to see a playoff but when I really think of it if the Huskies were in it there is no way I could afford to go to one game unless it was hosted at a stadium that was within a days drive. To think there could even be multiple games that could result in a championship run and I would have to sit at home and watch it on my non-HD TV!

That's the part that bugs me is that there are teams that are good but have a bad showing in attendance and it cost the team a ton of money. Either way the money needs to be awarded more fairly.
