$6M net what Cincy would have received playing in a Jan 1 bowl as the highest ranked G5. All in all it’s likely to have been an additional $200K or so to TU. My math correct ?
Nobody knows what the revenue sharing agreement is for the AAC and if they claim they do, they are violating league rules and should probably hire counsel.
The revenue is pooled then distributed with minimum amounts to every school. Then every school that participates in a bowl gets an additional share based on how the league rates the bowls, minus any unsold tickets amongst the 6,000 the school has to buy to go bowling, plus slightly larger shares for the former Big East schools and Navy. At least that’s the way it’s been explained to me in a very basic way by folks with knowledge who I know to be talking out of their butts at times on other subjects.
TU will likely see about $800,000 more than if they went 5-7, if they sell all their tickets and Cincy goes to the playoff. About $2.8 million total before expenses is the number I was told by an off campus source unconnected to the program. By contrast, UCF got $7 mil for going to the Peach Bowl and $5.75 last year. Their payouts are public record and therefore widely reported.
