You wonder why schools like OSU, Texas, UF, USC, Mich. and OU have such great programs and tradition. 17 million for a BCS bowl...wow
It would be great if ISU could get to the Alamo bowl...2.2million.
Mich/OSU split it up evenly with another 10 schools....Quote:

The above is the only thing I like about the Big11 ....
If there were 8 teams bowl eligible in the Big XII then we would go to the Texas Bowl - correct?
What about the BigTen Network? Pretty sweet deal IMOQuote:

The amount to split is after the approved expenses for the bowl participant are subtracted, which can be quite large. There are smaller bowls where the Big 12 covers some expenses over the payout, like the Texas Bowl, and others that only pay $750,000. There are also some Big 12 conference allocations out of the bowl pool money for the conference coffers.Quote:

This is the epitomy of collegiate welfare. Teams should get to keep what they earn, not split it with a bunch of have-nots who want a handout.Quote:

Boone Pickens) and the rest having nothing. Our conference distributed $130 million this year. Us getting money for a big XII school being in the BCS is good business for the conference. It ensures that the big name schools like Texas and OSU have teams to play against whose programs are good enough to allow UT and OSU to make it to the national championship game.Quote:

Wonder why the Big 12 wont take a page out of the Big 10 bowl book...oh wait...we are the big 12...
