Because BSU is getting an at-large instead of an automatic. 4.5 M instead of about 17 M.
but, we still get a small cut from TCU.
I'm thinking 200k or so.

How is it that we get a cut from TCU? Didn't know that.
Nevermind. I just read that a non-automatic team gets an automatic invite if they finish in the Top 12. So that means TCU is the automatic non-automatic team this year and Boise gets an at-large invite.
So we will get about $125k from Boise's game and about $200k from TCU's game.
If Boise was the automatic, non-automatic we would have gotten about $600k from Boise's game and nothing from TCU's game.
The non-BC$ conferences (refuse to use non-AQ) get 9% of annual revenues every year to split...last year that was about $9.6 million. When a non-BC$ team is in the BC$, those conferences get ANOTHER 9% (last year about $19.2 million total). If TCU and Boise State both make the BC$, the non-BC$ conferences will get the 18% plus another $4.5 million (about $23.7 million using last year's numbers). The $4.5 million extra for a second BC$ team is also the same amount the BC$ conferences get added to their automatic split of about $18.3 million each.
I will do a breakdown of how the WAC shares money in the different scenarios later today.
Only the highest ranked non-BC$ team in the Top 12 automatically gets a bid, so Boise State can be passed over but likely will not be. If there are no changes in the Top 14 this week, the 2 at-large bids left after TCU and Florida gets theirs have to come from the pool of Boise State, either Iowa or Penn state (not both), and Virginia Tech. LSU would be ineligible as the 3rd $EC team, and though BYU might be eligible it won't be considered.
Boise State got an automatic bid after the 2006 season for the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Hawai'i got an automatic bid after the 2007 season for the 2008 Sugar Bowl.
What was different then and why the Tech share would be higher this time is that the WAC has changed its distribution formula for the extra money it receives directly for a BC$ team (historically $6 million). For both of the previous BC$ years, the BC$ team got 70% with the other 30% split equally. That formula is now 50% to the BC$ team and 50% to the other 8 WAC schools...an extra $150K to each of the other 8 schools.
I will breakdown the formula and different scenarios in my next post.
Every year the 5 non-BC$ conferences get 9% of BC$ revenues. Last year that was about $9.2 million. That pool is split divided in half into a guaranteed share portion and performance based portion.
First 9% ($9.6 million for the 2008 season)
50% guaranteed share--each non-BC$ confrence receives $960K
50% performance portion 15 shares (5-4-3-2-1) by ranking (MWC, WAC, CUSA, MAC, SBC)--WAC would get 4/15 or $1.28M
WAC total regardless of BC$ team status if it is #2 in performance--$2,240,000 divided equally or $248,889 per school (use $250K for easier comparison)
Next 9% when a non-BC$ conference gets a BC$ team ($9.6 million for the 2008 season)
Conference with the BC$ team gets $6 million off the top
Remainder ($3.6 million) divided by performance 15 shares (5-4-3-2-1) by ranking (MWC, WAC, CUSA, MAC, SBC)--WAC would get 4/15 or $960K divided equally or $106,667 per school (use $105K for easier comparison)
WAC share per school when the BC$ team is from another conference--$250K (first 9%) + $105K (BC$ performance share) = around $355K
The WAC now splits the extra $6 million for a WAC BC$ team off the top 50-50, half to the BC$ team ($3 million) and half to the other eight members equally ($375K).
WAC BC$ team share--$250K (first 9%) + $3M (BC$ share) + $105K (BC$ performance share) = around $3.355M
WAC non-BC$ team share--$250K (first 9%) + $375K (BC$ share) + $105K (BC$ performance share) = around $730K
This year if TCU and Boise State are both in the BC$, the exta BC$ money will be closer to $14.1 million (9% + an extra $4.5 million).
If the non-BC$ conferences still give each conference with a BC$ team $6 million off the top, that would leave $2.1 million for the performance pool.
Conferences with BC$ teams $6 million each off the top.
Remainder ($2.1 million) divided by performance into 15 shares (5-4-3-2-1) by ranking (MWC, WAC, CUSA, MAC, SBC)--WAC would get 4/15 or $560K divided equally or $62,222 per school (use $60K for easier comparison)
WAC BC$ team share with 2 non-BC$ teams--$250K (first 9%) + $3M (BC$ share) + $60K (BC$ performance share) = around $3.31M
WAC non-BC$ team share with 2 non-BC$ teams--$250K (first 9%) + $375K (BC$ share) + $60K (BC$ performance share) = around $685K
TCU getting into the BC$ without Boise State adds about $105K for Tech. Boise State joining them would add another $330K for Tech.
The Sun Belt you ask---here are the numbers...
Guaranteed share of first 9%--$960K
Performance share of first 9% (1/15)--$320K
Performance BC$ money with 1 BC$ team (1/15)--$240K
Perfrormance BC$ money with 2 BC$ teams (1/15)--$140K
SBC shares with no non-BC$ teams--$1.28M split 9 ways is $142,222 per school (use $140K for comparison)
SBC shares with 1 non-BC$ teams--$1.52M split 9 ways is $168,889 per school (use $170K for comparison)
SBC shares with 2 non-BC$ teams--$1.42M split 9 ways is $157,778 per school (use $160K for comparison)

What's the difference between the $730K and $685K?
RealityCheck,
Do you know if the payout for the Fiesta Bowl is less because 2 non-AQ teams are in it? The typical payout for the game is $17.5 Million. Where does all that go?
Fiesta Bowl site says Boise and TCU will EACH get 18.3 Million.

Wouldn't that mean Boise gets $9 Million and the other WAC teams split the other $9 Million?
