Bowl Logic

[LouisianaB]

You dont have to sell your allotment, but you only get what you sell.

The payout is the payout. It goes to the conference. In 2011, UL had a huge payday. In 2012, they changed it to where payout goes to conference and offsets any bowl losses for other schools.

Ticket money varies by bowl. Some give you a certain percentage. Some give you a certain percentage over X no. of tickets sold.

But the trick is minimal travel. If a belt team other than Texas State gets sent west, that’s a huge hit.

Personally I’m expecting JMU in New Orleans.

There’s a chance SBc has a few teams sent out west as well as a Hawai’i trip. It could be very costly.

The SBC was considering adding a few more when it went to 14. They looked at WKU and MTU but stuck with the 14-member model. I don't see them adding any programs West of Texas or North of Virgina.

Yup. I remember UL cleared a solid 6 figures in 2011. League amended the policy the next year.

What was amazing it was never an issue for the SBC until then. Nobody ever cleared numbers like that before.

I’m talking about a SBC team going west for a bowl. I.e. New Mexico bowl. Idaho bowl. Hawaii bowl.

Okay, hope not.

A few years ago UConn recieved what was billed as a $13 million New Years Day bowl game.

They lost money because that was the value placed on the tickets, and they didn't sell many.

Thought the same. Them or SJSU? Avoid the MAC or CUSA and get a relatively even match.

Bowl payouts from SBC

2018: $129,130
2019: $250,000 from conference and $67,270 in “bowl revenue”
2020: $292,518
2021: $223,016 plus $129,320 in “bowl revenue”

Bowl expenses

2018: $432,309
2019: $340,515
2020: $294,370
2021: $323,921

The payouts go into a pot with CFP payouts. There is a bowl distribution from the conference that represents travel expenses (I did read that one conference has “mileage”, basically a few hundred dollars per mile, one way). Schools offset the rest of bowl expenses from their budget.

There is another conference distribution that isn’t considered bowl but may have bowl money in it. This includes a cut of the CFP money.

Man, when you jump off the bandwagon you jump head first apparently.
