- One thing though, I did not see where it mentioned the $$ the schools get from the Bowl Game. Doesn't each school get 14 million for a Rose Bowl? I know they spread it out within the Conference.
At least how the bowl money gets split. (This was before the BTN so that $ wasn't even in the equation.
Ok, so the team going to the bowl gets to pay their expenses off the top. I believe there is a cap on this so a BCS team can't just go all extravegant and spend 14Mil.
After expenses the remainder gets put in a big fund and "sorta" sits there collecting interest.
The way I read it is the money is in a huge perpetual fund that rolls over every 6 years. When you give in this year you get out from 6 years ago.
It was an interesting story and I really don't know if I could find it again. I'm a little busy but maybe I'll look.
Ity gives the athletic departments 6 years to schedule their budgets and such that way.
