SEC Bowl Revenue Strategy

Worth noting.

I believe the ACC needs to offer a percentage to teams in bowls BEFORE distributing to conference for an equal split.  Something like 25%-35%.

When a conference has an overwhelming number of teams content to settle for lower end bowls, it is important to reward production.

Quote:For bowl games with receipts between $4 million and $6 million, like the Peach, the school keeps $1.475 million, plus a travel allowance. For bowl games with receipts of $6 million or more, like the Sugar and Orange, the school keeps $2 million, plus the travel allowance. If an SEC team makes it to the championship game, it receives another $2.1 million, plus travel allowance.

The rest of the revenue from the CFP bowls is divided evenly between the 14 schools and the conference office.

But the juicy one is this

Quote:SEC Conference distribution model:
For bowl games with receipts of $4,000,000 - $5,999,999, the participating team retains $1.475 million (Ole Miss), plus a travel allowance determined by SEC. For bowl games with receipts of $6 million or more, the participating team receives $2 million (Alabama and Mississippi State), plus a travel allowance determined by the SEC. If an SEC team makes it to the championship game, it receives another $2.1 million, plus travel allowance. The remainder of the revenue from these [CFP] bowls is divided 15 ways – one share for each of the 14 SEC teams and one share for the conference office. There’s also a distribution method for bowls with lower payouts, but I’m not covering that here.
