For what reason?

If you’re talking about the TV dollars, that’s negotiable based on supply/demand.

If you’re talking about the CFP dollars, that is something that was negotiated and unanimously agreed among all 10 FBS conferences.

I'm not agreeing that somebody needs to file a lawsuit, but whether it was originally 'negotiated and unanimously agreed' can be overcome in an anti-trust lawsuit. It would be fairly straightforward for a school, or group of schools, to allege that the CFP contract is or has become collusive and an unreasonable restraint of trade.

Whether they would win is a different matter, but they could make a reasonable allegation that would justify a very public lawsuit and investigation.
