In addition to the 15 million from the split of the $75 mil. It's going to be about $20 million (If Marshall makes the Access Bowl) split among 13 schools or about $1.54 mil per school give a take a few hundred thousands. This doesn't include the payout for CUSA Bowl tie-ins which is why I said give or take a few hundred thousands...lol.
If the article is correct then C-USA will receive the following:
$15,000,000 share from G5 $75 million pot.
$ 3,900,000 for 13 schools each making the APR goal. Not sure all 13 will do that. Also its not clear if this is addition to the $15 million or not.
$ 4,000,000 if Marshall makes it to Access Bowl.
That would be $22,900,000 potential dollars or $1,761,538 per school. Probably Marshall would get a bigger share of the $4,000,000 than the rest, which would be fair.
Without the Access Bowl each school stands to get about $1,453,846 which is over $300,000 less. Nothing to sneeze at but not the end of the world either. I think the prestige gained by the team and conference involved in the Access Bowl is worth more than the money.
There is also a scale to the conference payout depending on strength. Not sure how that's arrived at and what the payment differences are.
