Bottom line is that they’ve removed the incentive to go past 12 teams for the Go5 conferences so that they’ll quite raiding each other, and then FCS, for new members. CUSA members, with 14 members, will already get less from Pool A ($857,142.85 vs $1M for a 12 team or less Go5 conference). We now have to make that up by 1, making sure the conference finishes near the top to make up for the shortfall in Pool A. 2, hope our TV contract stays the same or “miracle” increases in value. 3, Win our conference AND be the top non-BCS conference.
“Go balls deep.”
What pool are we win?

One pool of money is set and schools will receive the same amount of money from it each year (with the possibility of it increasing in the future).
One pool of money is distributed based on performance of the conferences. The best Go5 conference in a given season gets the most money while the weakest gets the least.

In the grand scheme of things this is like the homeless fighting over who gets to smoke the last bit of the cigarette butt. This is pocket change relative to other realignment issues.
Or just have each conf. get an equal share. Why should Gang of 5 get more?

Yup -
If school A brings me more money in TV deal then still worth doing. If school A weakens lower conference to make it more difficult for them to get a bigger share then also still worth doing. In other words doesn’t change much. Just means conferences really need to do due diligence before they make a move, which is probably a good thing.

Ah. Good explanation.
