College bowl payout article USA Today
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/20...952646001/
here's the part about G5/CUSA
All bowls combined last season to pay about $622 million to conferences and schools, including $441 million from the Playoff. After $105 million in bowl expenses, conferences and schools combined for $517 million in bowl profit, according the NCAA financial records.
This wealth is shared with all major-college conferences, not just the richest Power Five leagues. For example, Conference USA sent seven teams to bowl games last year, including Old Dominion, which went all the way to the Bahamas Bowl to beat Eastern Michigan, 24-20, in front of a crowd of 13,422.
None of the Conference USA bowl teams went to the Playoff, but the Playoff still paid the league $13.9 million in revenue-sharing. If not for that Playoff share, Conference USA schools that went to bowl games would have lost a combined $650,000 after $4.2 million in bowl expenses, records show.

Many of the Privileged-Few schools lose money too, on the bowls.
Wonder where those excess millions go ? Judy and associates pockets ?
Wonder if we could cut some major expenses in the conference office, somehow ?
