Say it is 1.5 million give the football only members half.
Give each visited team a hundred k and the conference keep the rest. With little to no media income it would help. Otherwise the money is eleven times a million and a half get it.
Money is left on the table if under twelve members.
Inviting Coastal solves Olympic sports scheduling problems.
Once three Southeastern schools are willing and able . Kick out all the members who aren't full members.

Generally correct but technically wrong. Though one component of the CFP money is the $1M pay-out per school, there are a myriad of other dollars that come as well. There's the conference placing dollars, the APR money, the CCG (think they are passing something where one can be held with <12 members), the Play-off auto-invite, bowl dollars, t.v. revenue, etc.

So the million would be paid for the extra school, but that's good for the school that just came in but does nothing for the existing members ($10M/10 = $12M/12). Then all the extra dollars are divided by 12 instead of 10.

I'm just saying if the schools don't add value it's a net negative to increase the number of members.
