From the Boise newspaper:

The split is not even - TCU gets $5 million for qualifying for the Fiesta Bowl and NCAA men's basketball qualifiers receive bonuses - but that's an average of $2.94 million per school.
The WAC hasn't announced its distribution for this year. Boise State received $3 million for playing in the Fiesta Bowl.
TCU received more money than Boise State in part because it earned the automatic bid that's available to non-Bowl Championship Series conferences. Boise State received a less-lucrative at-large berth.
The Mountain West also gave TCU a higher percentage of its BCS payout.
The Mountain West's record payout was made possible by the Fiesta Bowl appearance and its consistent success in men's basketball.
