Looks like the first year of the playoff system produced more $$. Here's a AP piece on the bowl cuts guys.
Bowl games paid off more than ever for college football conferences and schools last season. According to an NCAA report released [last] Tuesday, the 39 postseason FBS games distributed $505.9 million to the participating conferences and schools-- an increase of nearly $200 million from last season. The schools spent a total of $100.2 million to take part in bowl games. The increase in payouts is due mostly to the increased value of media deals with the six major bowls and national championship game that are part of the College Football Playoff. --AP
