[NU Sports] SC Game

[Jonathan Hodges]

In terms of the money - the payout for a second team from any conference in
a BCS game is pre-defined to be about 1/3 of the usual $15M payout (about
$4.5M).  Therefore, as long as two teams from a conference are in, it
doesn't really matter which game they go to.  The national championship game
pays a little more, and the bowl games vary a little bit in their payouts,
but the difference are not all that great.  And of course no conference is
allowed to have 3 representatives in BCS games (Wisconsin would make a great
case for that this year), although the Bowl formerly known as Citrus has a
nice sized payout (over $4M, one of the largest non-BCS payouts, I believe).
