BCS Money

[All-American]

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...nferences.html

A record $24 million of bowl money will go to the non-BCS conferences this year, which is the rough equivalent of the petty cash account given to Texas' Mack Brown.

Of the $24 million, most will go to the two conferences that sent teams to BCS games this year: the Mountain West Conference, at $9.8 million, and the Western Athletic Conference, at $7.8 million. The three other conferences that don't receive automatic bids will divide the remainder.

That compares to $22.2 million each to the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences, and $17.7 million each for the other four conferences that have automatic bids. Those first two received more because they each had two teams in BCS bowls. . . .

BCS executive director Bill Hancock told the AP the new numbers show the distribution is "fair and appropriate."

Grr.

Why grrr?

Do you not like having to share revenue with teams that did little or nothing to generate it?

$17 million if you were from an automatic qualifying conference and got in. $9 million if you were not from an automatic qualifying conference and got in.

That's why grrr.

sounded like those conferences that got $17M had two teams in the BCS. I can understand your being upset if they had one team, or because it was so much easier for them to get 2 teams in. Is that what you're saying?

800K to go to the Vegas Bowl.

TCU is lucky to have been invited to the party. The ad revenue is in place because of the BCS teams that are likely to lock into the associated bowl games.

$17.7 million for AQ conferences, $22.2 million if they get two teams in.

Nope

Oops. Reading comprehension.

the Mountain West Conference, at $9.8 million, and the Western Athletic Conference, at $7.8 million

Does anyone know why the MWC gets 20% more than the WAC when they sent the same number of teams to the BCS?

Are you talking about the the ACC and part of the Big Ten (i.e. Iowa)?

Grr.

I don't get the jealousy over BCS money. Ohio State's athletic budget is in the $80M area. Total BCS money is what? $150M or so? Divided out equally for all teams that's about $1M per team. Sharing BCS money is not going to bridge any gap between Wyoming and Florida, financially.

How much BCS money did they get in 1992? Let's see zero from the Rose Bowl. Zero from the Orange Bowl. Zero from the Sugar Bowl. Do you see a pattern?

Possibly because TCU was the auto bid and BSU was an at large. I don't know for sure but, this may be the reason.

What is Baylor's? What is Vanderbilts?

Well yeah, the top 10 budgets are going to eclipse anything BCS, but it does make a huge difference for the crappy BCS programs.

That's as good as the old Iraq argument that they were better off than they were under Saddam Hussein.

Is some peoples mind, better = ideal.

Congratulations, you're not starving anymore! You have nothing to complain about. You don't need a pair of shoes anyways.
