no discussion about the B1G and the SEC taking home most of the playoff money, the ACC getting more than the B12?

Nothing?

(excerpt from the SportsReport)

In the split discussed at the CFP Management Committee meetings in Dallas about 10 days ago the final proposal came out like this: the Big Ten and SEC would take home approximately 58% (split evenly at 29% each) of the base distribution. Meanwhile, the ACC and Big 12 would receive 32% (with 17.1% to the ACC and 14.7% to the Big 12). The Group of Five and Notre Dame will take home the remaining 10%.

The estimated dollar figures for the future look like this. Big Ten and SEC members are set to each receive about $21 million annually, according to multiple reports, while ACC programs get approximately $13 million and Big 12 members $12 million. Notre Dame, which is independent, is expected to receive roughly $12 million as well. All of the Group of Five schools would receive a fraction of those payouts. The approximate number is $159,000.

They bring in the eyeballs. If M2 wish to complain they should have done that over the G5 payouts over the last 20 years.

what came first the money or the eyeballs... you know the answer to that, ESPN created this whole thing, and is still promoting their self-fulfilling favorites for the sake of their own pocket books.

heck we use to have to watch ski-jumping on ABC wild world of sports, because that's what they wanted us to see..... lot's of eyeballs on that, because just as now, that's what they choose to put on the air.

That was a different time. There was no cable, and ABC was the new kid on the block of NBC CBS ABC. Hell I remember TV before they really carried any sports. It came on for News in AM, went dark for couple hours came back for noon programing, then went off the air after 11 oclock news. If you wanted sports you had to search thru radio to see what was available.

no... it's actually still exactly the same, just bigger. They decide what you watch and when you watch it (the "big eyes" networks). ESPN is an extension of ABC sports and they also decide who get "prime time cable" eyeballs. It's about who and what they want to promote, period.

Always has been.

They are gonna push the hot team at the time to get the biggest ratings. They aren't sitting in a room like "how are we going to bend the public to our will?" Are they gonna slant to their inventory, of course, but it's a combo of market and inventory.

Any word on the payout per Playoff bid? The Credits of the CFP or is that not a thing?

That's a good question. My guess without trying to look it up, is that the monies are paid to the conference (the per team paragraph was just speculation (extrapolation) by the sports writer.

The conference would then decide how to divvy up the CFP money likely based on which teams make the playoff getting more of the loot. Similar to bowl payouts now that go to the league not to the teams. The teams playing in post season get a stipend for costs and such, the rest of the money is divided up to all the teams.

I'm under the impression the payout is fixed. If the Big 12 got 2 at-larges, they would not get more money.
