ESPN agrees to 6-year extension for CFP rights.

so 1.3 billion divided by 12 schools? School gets half, conference splits the other half?

CFP offices get some money too.. they gotta pay for the trophies, the Frisco office and for the committee.. but yeah that money is going to the conferences.. it's a reason why the current and future big 12 teams thump their chests saying they are getting more money than they did with UT in the conference.. because of the CFP distribution

I seriously think they may have a tough year. They don't want to remember it, but the team we beat 63-3 is what they are returning, plus some new transfers, and then a freshman class that shouldn't really matter. Last year they hit on the transfers, but will they again this year? It's not guaranteed. The sportsbooks have their over-under wins at 9.5. They go under that, they aren't making it most likely, and I can see 3 losses on their schedule.

I think Clemson, ND are losses and honestly, I wouldn't sleep on Memphis. They could absolutely play with FSU.

they have been hitting on transfers ever since the portal started.. I think that is what saved Norvell at FSU. They have killed it with DEs too..

The thing with transfers is that you have to keep hitting, and they have to work out. They had 9 transfers last year who all had career years. That's an outlier, I'd guess. All you need is to have 4 or 5 of the 10 transfers you are relying on not having career years, and suddenly, you are losing to Clemson, NCSU, UNC, and Jax State.

When you take 25-30 really good high school players each year you have a better chance that 10 will work out than you do with 10 transfers every year. IMO.

They are at SMU. They have GaTech in London to start the year. The Nerds were playing a lot better last year ... Key is a good coach.

Forgot about SMU. That's absolutely going to be a good test. Good call on GT, they bring back a real solid QB/RB rushing duo and some interesting WRs. While I feel bad that Travis got hurt last year and they didn't get into the CFP, Norvell has to prove he can weather the storm. It's going to be a huge year for him.

so 1.3 billion divided by 12 schools? School gets half, conference splits the other half?

I posted this in another thread a few weeks ago. I have updated it now that we know what the numbers are. Still a lot of conjecture here, but this is very much what it will be like:

Here is a very quick rundown on how the money likely gets split - this is based on the current model and March Madness.

- Total Pot = $1.3 billion.

- Peel off $300 million for administration costs and payments to the G5 teams as a whole and maybe to the schools under that. The G5 currently gets 20% of CFP money. So, G5 gets 260 million (20%) and 40 million for admin costs.

- $100 million split between the P5 - $25 million for each conference. This might be a larger number ... say, give each conference $100 million. But I'll go with a base of $25 million per conference.

- That leaves $900 million that goes to the shares that go to the conferences based on performance.
- You get a share for the following:

1. Each team that gets in gets a share - 12 shares.
2. Round 1 - 8 shares - 1 to each of the 4 winners, 1 to each of the 4 byes.
3. Round 2 - Elite 8 - 1 share to each of the 4 winners.
4. Round 3 - Final 4 - 1 share to each of the 2 winners.
4. Round 4 - NC - 1 share to the winner

That's a total of 27 shares. $1.3 billion / 27 shares = $33.3 million per share.

Here are some scenarios:

Winning team - 5 shares, or $166.5 million.
A team that gets in but loses in the first round - $33.3 million
Runner-up - $133.2 million
A conference that gets four teams in has the winner, a first-round loss, a second-round loss, and a third-round loss - 11 shares, $366.3 million.
A conference that gets five teams in has both teams in the NC, a 2nd round loss, and a 3rd round loss (this is likely the max scenario) - 14 shares - $466.2 million. For the SEC, that's $29.14 million per team, a little less after expenses, and if they let the teams that got in keep a little.

This is why I think that FSU is crazy to want to get out of the ACC. Instead of being the pricks they are, they should negotiate with the ACC to get a greater share of the CFP money. Why should FSU get a 15th share, the same as BC or Syracuse? Say you will stay in, but you want 50% of your shares. Win the NC and get to keep $83.25 million. They would get $16.6 million for getting in and another $16.6 million for each win.

Home games will be interesting .... instead of 80,000, they will have 55,000 this year due to construction.

Wow, I didn't know that either. That's going to be a drag.

FSU did bring in a hell of a transfer class but those 22/23 recruiting classes didn't seem to be particularly special. Plus, is DJU going to improve or has he hit his ceiling? There are a ton of question marks there for sure.

It's not split equally.

These morons are letting the media partners entangle them up before they can consolidate and make real money. Gawd they’re dumb.
