That is the total amount of payout of the bowls that the B1G teams play in. So if the B1G gets 1/2 then each school will get $2,189,000. Do you think we got that much last year from the bowl seasons? Nice little incentive for joining I would say. I would have to say this should be a profitable year for the Huskers. So even having to pay the exit fee I would say we are ahead.

The real numbers:

Texas is not in the Big Ten.

Is the split affected by the expenses incurred by the participating teams?

If all the bands go, does that put everyone in the red?:sarcasm:
