How much does each SEC school make from the NCG?

All money is split 15 ways

Auburn, Bama, and LSU get the same amount as Kentucky and the SEC pocketbook.

For every bowl game?

Yes, the money from every bowl team goes into a pot and is split between the 14 teams and the conference office.

That's a half truth ... only partially correct.

The way it works is that, depending upon your specific bowl-payout, you get a percentage of said payout which, by default, is larger if your bowl has a larger payout than another bowl.

For instance, if you go to the BCSNCG where the bowl payout is $12 million, and you're getting 10% of that ... then 10% of $12 million is naturally going to be substantially greater than 10% of an $800k payout.

Agreed?

It's not until AFTER each participating program takes their cut, their 10% from their particularly specific bowl, that the remaining balances are thrown into a pot and divided-up amongst all conference members, socialistic style, in a redistribution of the wealth so-to-speak.
