The five non-Bowl Championship Series college athletic conferences will receive a record $24 million from this year's BCS bowl games, according to BCS figures obtained by The Associated Press Monday.



Most of the $24 million will go to the two non-BCS conferences that sent teams to BCS games: Mountain West Conference, at $9.8 million, and the Western Athletic Conference, at $7.8 million. The other three non-BCS conferences will divide the remainder.

Can you say End-Zone project?

Be nice to see ground break on that next week.

Don't get too excited about this. It is just more anti-playoff propaganda from the BC$ execs. These figures were already available a month ago because they are still the same estimates.

With $7.7 million to the WAC (and assuming no additional deductions to cover bowl payout shortages), Boise State would get just over $2.6 million and the other 8 WAC schools would get almost $637K each.

CUSA--$220K each, Belch--$169K each, MAC--$160K each

How much did the Indy Bowl pay out for us?

I love how they make a big deal (like the headline) out of the non-AQ conferences getting so much money. And then down at the bottom as an afterthought:

Despite the record amount that now goes to the non-BCS schools, it still represents a sum far less than that received by the half-dozen BCS conferences.

And the BCS head turd polisher:

BCS executive director Bill Hancock told the AP the new numbers show the distribution is "fair and appropriate."

Timmy Brando said on his show yesterday that this news release is just a bunch of BCS crap. I agree.
