P5 conferences already have 80% of the revenue, totaling $368 million and change in 2017-2018. G5 conferences received just over $90 million. This is the contractual setup through the 2025 season and any change before then will find the G5 schools taking the P5 schools to court. After 2025, who knows what could happen, but the current system works well financially for the power conference schools and it is a definite improvement over the previous system for the G5 schools, with the possible exception of the AAC schools.
