I turned up a couple of good TV deal $$$ references recently. The total money received for each conference from the CFP and TV deal numbers.
CFP numbers:

TV deal numbers:

Here is what the AAC, MWC & MAC would be making in total for 2021 using the TV deal data and the one year average of CFP earnings.
AAC (2021)
Conference TV $63 mil
CFP TV dollars $23.06 mil
Total TV dollars $86.06 mil
TV per school (11) $7.82 mil
MWC (2021)
Conference TV $42 mil
CFP TV dollars $19.43 mil
Total TV dollars $61.43 mil
TV per school (12) $5.12 mil
MAC (2021)
Conference TV $24 mil
CFP TV dollars $16.59 mil
Total TV dollars $40.59 mil
TV per school (12) $3.38 mil
Fast forward to 2025 and the 12 team playoff is worth 3x money.
AAC (2025)
Conference TV $76 mil
CFP TV dollars $69.18 mil
Total TV dollars $145.18 mil
TV per school (11) $13.2 mil
MWC (2025)
Conference TV $52 mil
CFP TV dollars $58.29 mil
Total TV dollars $110.29 mil
TV per school (12) $9.19 mil
MAC (2021)
Conference TV $30 mil
CFP TV dollars $49.77 mil
Total TV dollars $79.77 mil
TV per school (12) $6.65 mil
As you can see here the gap between the AAC and MWC stretches out if the AAC can maintain its performance edge as the P6 conference.
Either way the G5 conferences are looking at a big increase in total TV money within a few short years due to the 12 team playoff.
