Actually state is the breadwinner this year. Bama gets 6 mil, OM gets 4, state is bringing 27.5 mil
The sugar pays out 40 mil when it's a contract bowl and not hosting a playoff, but since it's a playoff this year it only pays 6 mil. Orange pays 27.5 per team due to it being a contract bowl
The OPs numbers aren't correct, those are BCS era payouts
So Bama blew it for the rest of us by beating Missouri and playing themselves into the playoffs and out of a contract bowl?
Thanks, Bama. Way to screw us out of a nice payday.

I've read in multiple places that the Orange Bowl pays out more than the semis this year. Not sure why and doesn't really matter, money is split anyway.

Isn't it all thrown into a pot after expenses and split evenly.

Yes! Goodness people! Every team gets the same payout. Even lowly Kentucky and Vandy.

Allegedly it's not split completely even. Team holds on to part of the pot.

Since when?

There is no damn way the playoff structure was agreed upon if the payout is 25% of what it was under the BCS. I'm calling complete and utter bullshite.

There's a $50M base to each of the power five conferences. That's one reason the Big 12 isn't completely melting down. Even with no teams in the playoff, they get paid.

It's that way due to the 50m base each conference receives

Who's getting paid by ESPN? If its the bowls, then they absolutely should be paying what they do every other year. If it's some other entity, then that entity needs to be name-checked and their accounting needs to be made transparent. It's just too bizarre that play-off games, which are likely to be the highest-rated games of the bowl season, would cut back on pay-out.

So essentially conferences get a play-off pay-out just for being available?
