Donde may be the only university chancellor to become an actual folk hero in modern times by just being a good chancellor (not from an external event). Errbody loves her. Besides, Sankey showed for us the last time and that was when we were admitting wrong doing. It's in his interest and the conference's interest to back us on this one. I think the announcement the SEC & B1G did earlier today planted a giant flag of support for us in the NCAAs HQ.
From a Yahoo article - maybe this is the actual motive behind these two commissioners joining together and the current situation was the perfect opportunity…maybe?
A future revenue-distribution model
The CFP currently divides about $460 million annually into subdivisions. The Power Five splits about 80% of the cash, followed by the Group of Five’s 20% and then a small fraction is distributed to independents and the FCS. A per-school Power Five cut is about $5-6 million.
In addition to the primary distribution, those teams qualifying for the playoff will receive $4 million. Those advancing to the quarterfinals get another $4 million, and teams in the semifinals and national championship game get $6 million for their league for each round.
How revenue is distributed will be at the heart of discussions for the future of the CFP. The new-look SEC and Big Ten will encompass most of college football’s powerhouse programs.
Most are expecting the two leagues to want more in revenue distribution as well as more weighted voting rights on key issues. They may get it, too. Starting in 2026, format and revenue matters do not need unanimous consent among the 11 commissioners and their corresponding 11 presidents.
There will be plenty of new revenues to distribute given the impending extension of the ESPN deal. The CFP and ESPN are in the final stages of agreeing to a six-year extension that would run through the 2031 season and pay $1.3 billion annually, according to a story published last month by its own network. Any format alterations to the 12-team model could be baked into the new contract.
But for now, there is nothing binding the 10 FBS leagues together beyond 2025 — a note that the CFP’s most powerful leaders are well aware of.
“We don’t know as a group what the CFP structure looks like from 2026 and beyond,” Sankey said. “That’s on our mind.”
