BIG XII is getting 80 million annually for Champions Bowl?

80 million a year for one game? seem a little extreme but I hope it is true.

Not sure how much ISU will get out of this but by my math 80 divided 10 would be 8 mil extra per year...

ESPN’s 12-year TV extension with the Rose Bowl and its conference tie-ins (Big Ten and Pac-12) is said to be worth $80 million annually. The only other postseason/alternating semifinal game expected to come close to that kind of payout was the yet-to-officially-be-named Champions Bowl between the Big 12 and SEC conference champions.
That’s reportedly come to fruition.

(I realize there are some expenses the Big 12 will pull out of the pot and that means the program will get less in the end but still gotta be good new and more money for ISU.)

You do realize that this isn't BigXII vs. Big XII in the Champions Bowl, right? Big XII is playing another conference.

Also, how much of that actually gets paid out to conferences? I'm guessing not a lot. These bowls have become very good at making money while there are many cases of schools losing money because of ridiculous ticket allotments that schools are forced to take.

So the SEC doesn't get a share of this?

Sounds good to me.

His math is perfect imo.

I am writing a complimentary letter to his math teacher.

I am sending an e-mail about this money to JP.

BOWL IT IN!!!!

Wow ur right... K I was a Science Major and slipped through ISU with only having to take Stats 101, fortuanely.
Deserve the crap for this one feel free to pile on fanatics, just got over excited and posted without thinking it through.

Shoot, 80/24 doesn't sound anywhere near as good. Still an extra million + is something.

I think it should be 80/2/10, or 4 million, pre-expenses.

**NATEizKING** · 07-30-2012, 04:19 PM

But you would think they would give ISU a bit more for playing in it next year right?

But that's the whole brilliance of the Championship Bowl. It's an arrangement between the SEC and Big 12 without a Bowl in the way. There is no middle man to skim the money off the top. The Bowl that is usually 'very good at making money' is the conferences themselves in this case.

Agreed, this is why I have said the death of major bowl games is coming. Conferences will get in on this, once the playoff is up to 16 teams.
