The most recent payouts reported by the NCAA indicate that the bowls it aspires to be like (bowls with a relatively high P5 selection like the Liberty, Texas, Gator, Music City, etc) all have 4-6 million dollar payouts. Last year, the Miami Beach Bowl paid a measly $100K, making it the lowest paying bowl in college football. That's down from a 900K payout in the prior year (first year ever for the Miami Beach Bowl).

That pretty much explains why it struggles to attract a P5 opponent. Games that attract low end P5 opponents all have payouts of over a million.

Well in year 1 they got BYU while in year 2 it was WKU. The league owns the bowl so do they have the right/ability to massively drop the payout when it's against a G5 team and increase it if they can get a P5/BYU?

There's a discussion on the other board on what these numbers actually represent. For example, the Sugar Bowl is listed as only $10
million?

It doesn't make much sense that the Rose would pay 7 times as much as the Sugar. Regardless of what these numbers represent, those two bowls should be in the same ballpark. That makes the rest of the number suspect.

The AAC should continue trying to build up the Miami Bowl because the conference is in control. It can't be stolen from us if it grows into a quality bowl.

If memory serves, I do believe the AAC can at any given year depending matchups revise the payouts.

Commish makes $1.1mm

Our entire programs in all sports makes $2.1mm and the bowl we own pays teams $100k. Makes perfect sense.

I am sure Mickey A will do an amazing radio interview promoting the Beach Bowl match-up.

Well then that makes perfect sense to pay WKU peanuts and pay BYU a lot more. Having the flexibility to adjust payout depending on the "quality" of the opponent is one of the big positives of the league owning the game.

The Big12 expansion however can if it happens, devalue this league's own bowl, IMO... How?!? AAC losing its upper programs which could make it difficult to attract sponsors.

Now, if the Big12 decides not to expand than the Miami Beach Bowl becomes attractive.

Good. Cuz it's in a FREAKIN' BASEBALL STADIUM.

I'd rather go back to Miami over Birmingham.
