[NU Sports] SC Game

[Mark Ament]

It's my understanding that all bowl revenue is pooled and divided into 
12 equal shares, with the conference office taking one share for 
administration and then distributing the rest to each school equally.  
Since the bowl tie-ins and approximate payouts are known ahead of time, 
with the possible exception of the second BCS bowl and the Motor City 
Bowl on the bottom end, the payout is known at the beginning of the year 
and budgeted.  If a second team makes the BCS, as this year, then there 
will be a supplemental payout of about $100,000+ per school that wasn't 
in the budget.  Not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
