Tulane will likely see a bump in the next distribution. Not a CFP level distribution, but a bigger one.

Thanks for that!
Seems a little earlier than last year, which is fine by me.
Aso, yahoo has it outside of paywall - https://sports.yahoo.com/ucf-receives-8-...00727.html

Of note, this is the 2021-22 academic/fiscal year, so it's the 2021 football season with Cincinnati Bearcats CFP appearance - $2 million more for the conference than our "usual" NY6 money. The participant gets $2 million or so for NY6 appearance expenses, but that's included in the CFP distribution to the conference and reflected in Cincinnati's larger payout.

A couple additional tidbits I gleaned - overall revenue, huge gain, a lot of which was exit and entry fees. But the expenses including distributions are far lower than the revenues...by an amount close to the exit/entry fees listed.

Media money went up from $52.16 million to $65.24 million.
$65.24 million is actually close to being on plan for the original Billion dollar deal with a 5% escalator each year. Still unknowns for the "Navy tier", whatever UConn decrement ESPN gave us, and payback of the $20 million "signing bonus" from 2019-2020 year. My assessment though, is that 2020-21 was decreased due to less ESPN+ inventory delivered in the COVID.

Looks to me like the AAC has a nice hustle going with entry and exit fees. We should keep the gate swinging in and out.

I like how the commissioner doesn’t make more than any one school.

We need to get Wichita State a raise to keep them from getting passed by Commissioner Mike, though!!
