Default BCS revenue distribution

http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=3252565

This seems really unfair, but it's not.

NCAA basketball has a lot more parity than football, and BCS conferences make up a much smaller percent of D1 BB. BCS conferences collect 62% of total revenue for NCAA BB tournament.

I simulated a 32 team playoff and found that if you applied the same revenue distribution rules of the BB tourney to a FB tourney, BCS conferences would collect 91% of revenue.

schools would have a great chance of winning in a court of law if the issue were financial instead of crowning a national champion.
