Curious to know how you get those revenue figures........must be some pretty expensive seats. What about the students? How much do they pay, how many seats do they get?
I’m guesstimating off the figures in this article which uses 2021 financial figures.

Um, I read that as meaning UNLV netted $5 million for the season, not per game. And 2021 is the most current data available?I’m guesstimating off the figures in this article which uses 2021 financial figures.
UNLV football revenue at Allegiant at key threshold
UNLV AD Erick Harper said he didn’t have the final revenue report, but said the amount should come in around the $5 million mark and not trigger the waterfall account.
I believe Student tickets are included as part of their student facilities fees I believe. Not sure what the cut athletics get because it used to be by credit and charged to full time students each semester and also funds the rec center, Student Union, etc...
In other words not 35 million as originally stated. Glad you can do math. Don't forget the $9M (or pick your figure) is gross revenue. Gameday expenses, visitor guarantees (I assume even in league?), etc.
Oh yeah, will there be TV? ESPN shows no TV.

Except it's not a couple extra million fir ticket sales. It just means we aren't pulling money from the stadium authority agreement, since we probably exceed the net revenue for sales not using SBS... on paper it looks like there's some added attendance $$, but that gets eaten quickly by game day expenses, etc into the departments revenue. So yeah short story, we can operate without losing money, but that doesn't directly translate into cash you can turn around and directly increase a coaches salary.
So we get $6MM just for making the CFP? That alone will take care of assistant staff salary increases over 5 years plus contribute a little to Odom's bump you just need to get Odom's money some of which should come from higher attendance this year and the conference title game. That is before we talk about the MWC bonuses we arranged.
The CFP Committee sees it is in their best interest to give the SEC & B10 something like $20 million, the B12 and ACC will get about $12 million, and any G5 school that gets in will make about $6 million. These are for the schools that get into the 12 team playoff.
What I’m not clear about, and not sure if someone else on here knows, is if the CFP money goes to the school or the conference?
Both. The school takes a larger share than the member schools.

College Football Playoff Payouts 2023-2024
How much do teams make for the College Football Playoff? We've got the 2023-24 revenue distribution plan plus payouts from past years.
collegefootballplayoff.com
Yeah, had read both of those before, which is sort of why it’s confusing. Both state that the money goes to the conference, so… I’m sure there has to be some of the revenue going to the actual school that makes it, just haven’t read anything that explains that portion.From that I see that each of the 12 teams gets $4 million. That doubles for those teams that don't have a bye since they get $4 million for the quarterfinals. That would be $8 million for our first game plus an additional $3 million for expenses. From that article that is a lot different from what I thought I knew. This changes every years.This article states it a little different so try this:

Your recollection of the Pac-2's whining and subsequent 2-year $3M allocation sounds correct.
Hey Coug, what's the status of the Pac media contract these days? I know they brought in that consultant a couple months ago, but I haven't heard anything since. Has there been any news from your end?
Seems like they might want to work faster on adding teams... You know they're a few months away from just inviting NMST to avoid the conference dissolving on them... When's that 2nd league year begin/end?
We have heard nothing on either the media deal front or the expansion front. Absolute crickets, which has become commonplace over the last year. No surprise given our lame Commissioner, WSU's own lame AD and our lame and lame duck president. On media, we have done OK viewership-wise with the CW, so I fully expect us to partner with them going forward. These last 3 Coug jobs against inferior teams has certainly dimmed the shining light the Pac/WSU thought they had.

Also nothing new from the Sac-12 group, other than one report allegedly from "sportswriter" John Canzano (aka clickbait and rarely on target) saying that Sac St. is a hard no. Which I think is BS - look at the group behind the Sac-12's efforts (link below). I mean c'mon Pac. Take a chance on them, we have nothing to lose at this point. On the other hand, the MW should just go in and grab them. As I stated on aa thread I started on my board (which has had absolutely zero replies but over 300 views), we or the MW need to grab them now so they can compete in the portal and recruiting trail to start building a G5 roster and get going on their promised new stadium. Next Spring is too late.
Chat GPT answer:
So that would really exclude Sac St. at this point right because of the time it takes to become FBS level from FCS?
Another Chat GPT answer.
Right those are the requirements, but does that exclude them from counting towards being a "full member" since they are in a transition period.. and yes, they can play at the higher level but are not eligible for the post season for those 2 years.
I scratch my head at #1 (I've read this list before). WSU only has 15 varsity sports, so how come we don't get kicked out of the FBS?
The deadline is June/July of 2026, BUT they would have to have someone signed by 2025 to make that happen for the “notice” reasons you stated… I think.
