I've got other things to do than wait to get activated.

I can rather quickly resolve some things brought up in the Cure Bowl thread.

1. CBS Sports is "available" in 96 million homes, that just means there are 96 million homes with cable or satellite connections that contract with CBS. Not all of them subscribe to CBS Sports. In fact based on the last numbers I've seen, a bit over 40 million homes can tune in CBS Sports right now without having to call their provider and order additional service.

2. Revenue share. It's two parts. A check and tickets sold. Check is payable to the conference. The tickets, you get to keep 50% of what you sell. The other 50% goes into a pool. First use of the pool is to insure that all other Sun Belt teams break even vs. a reasonable budget (determined by the league office, if they think you should spend $500,000 on the trip and you spend $600,000 they will make sure you hit $500,000 in revenue by supplementing what you sell). If anything is left in the pool, it goes into the Sun Belt revenue distribution and you get 1/11th.

3. Payout. As noted above it is a check and tickets. The announced NOLA payout is based on selling 3,500 tickets. The more common number is 10,000 for our level bowls. Most of the BIG bowls are based on 17,500 tickets except for the Rose which is based on 25,000 tickets.

Most games don't sell out the tickets they have in inventory, and will gladly give you more to sell on a reasonable deal.

A quick example of the magic. Three bowls with tickets priced at $50 (easier math). Bowl A assumes 3,500 tickets in payout $175,000 of announced payout is tickets. Bowl B makes 10,000 tickets part of the payout so tickets are $500,000 of payout. Bowl C makes 17,500 part of the payout so $875,000.

Team 1 let's say is going to sell 5,000 tickets regardless of which three bowls it goes to. In every case their real American cash money is $500,000 of which the Sun Belt skims $250,000 and may give all, part or none of it back to Team 1, but the uninformed believe Bowl C is paying out huge bucks.

Finally, about that check. It is fairly common to pay a bowl a marketing fee or some such label. So the conference may tender a check to the bowl in the spring or winter in the amount of $400,000. Come time for the game, the bowl cuts a check to the conference in the amount of $500,000. Then a short time later the conference writes another $400,000 check. Why does that happen? First it boosts the payout and makes the uniformed more impressed, second it helps make sure the bowl has operating funds to get to the next year.

Unfortunately the captcha setup on my site is jacked up, and I get several thousand spam accounts each week.

I'd rather go that route, than have to spend my free time deleting the spam from the board.

Hoping to fix/correct this issue once football season is over and I'm upgrading the software.
