Alabama's CFP appearance cost the SEC $21.5 million


Jan 17, 2018, 6:25 PM

With 2 teams in the CFP, instead of getting an Orange Bowl berth, it actually cost the SEC teams $21.5 million in bowl revenue ($27.5 - $6 = $21.5). Instead, the Big 10 got the higher payout even though they didn't have a CFP appearance. Wisconsin picked up $27.5 million for the Big 10 from the Orange Bowl. Those SEC schools cheering for Alabama in the CFP were actually cheering against their own financial best interests.

ACC

$54 million base payout (which includes $300,000 for each team which meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game)

$6 million for Clemson's berth in the semifinals

$27.5 million for Miami's berth in the Orange Bowl (payout based on contract average pursuant to a contract between the ACC and the Orange Bowl)

Total: $87.5 million

Big 12

$54 million base payout (which includes $300,000 for each team which meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game)

$6 million for Oklahoma's berth in the semifinals

Total: $60 million

Big Ten

$54 million base payout (which includes $300,000 for each team which meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game)

$4 million for Ohio State's berth in the Cotton Bowl

$4 million for Penn State's berth in the Fiesta Bowl

$27.5 million for Wisconsin's berth in the Orange Bowl (payout based on contract average pursuant to the Orange Bowl's contract, which places the highest ranked SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame team which isn't in the playoff against the highest-ranked ACC team not in the playoff)

Total: $89.5 million

Pac-12

$54 million base payout (which includes $300,000 for each team which meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game)

$4 million for USC's berth in the Cotton Bowl

$4 million for Washington's berth in the Fiesta Bowl

Total: $62 million

SEC

$54 million base payout (which includes $300,000 for each team which meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game)

$6 million for Alabama's berth in seminfinals

$6 million for Georgia's berth in the semifinals

$4 million for Auburn's berth in the Peach Bowl

Total: $70 million

Note on the SEC's revenue distribution model: For bowl games with receipts of $4,000,000 – $5,999,999, the participating team retains $1.5 million, plus a travel allowance determined by SEC. For bowl games with receipts of $6 million or more (including all College Football Playoff games), the participating team receives $2.025 million, plus a travel allowance determined by the SEC. If an SEC team makes it to the championship game, it receives another $2.125 million, plus travel allowance.

They will quickly remind you of the payout they just received from the ESPN/SEC deal

I haven’t done any research into it but I have seen these figures before and I have a question about it.

Why / How is the OB payout so much higher than the CFP payout and other bowl games payout? 27.5 vs 6 mil Of all the bowl games listed here there is a huge difference between the OB and all the rest. Can someone explain that?

The other major Bowl games (Rose & Sugar) have higher payouts when they aren't used as a site for the CFP playoffs. It was $40 million in 2016-17.
