NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted June 19, 2023 In the run-up to a Pac-12 media rights agreement and the grant of rights, uneven distribution of revenue among conference schools has been a point of discussion. Will power players such as Oregon and Washington eventually receive a larger slice of the revenue pie than Oregon State? OSU athletic director Scott Barnes is unconcerned. He believes the “baseline revenue,” meaning television money, will be split evenly among the existing 10 Pac-12 members. Where uneven revenue sharing comes into play has to do with postseason bonuses. Barnes said at this point, Pac-12 schools that participate in the College Football Playoff receiving a greater share of postseason revenue than others is a hypothetical concept, though it is being seriously discussed. It’s substantial money, as a recent report said CFP payouts could hit $2 billion per year by 2027. If a competing school makes a playoff run and is allowed to keep up to half of the payout, it could be an eight-figure windfall. “My feeling on that is that I’m good with it,” Barnes said. “I think that’s a next step and where we sit, we’re in a position, frankly, with our football program. As you think about the percentage split, it’s got to be balanced, but I think there’s traction and I would support going down the path of incentivized distribution of things like CFP.” Oregon State AD Scott Barnes supports uneven split of College Football Playoff revenue WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Barnes believes it's appropriate to "incentivize" revenue to teams participating in the CFP, but is against an uneven split of media rights payouts 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Frankly....San Diego State might be licking their chops at the thought of receiving the lion's share of going to post-season. As for Oregon State? Funny how it is not an issue now after a 10 win year! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they need to enter the conference at a reduced rate. I think the uneven post season payouts can keep the conference together for the next 5 years (which is how long until the B1Gs media rights are being renegotiated).

IMO, an uneven split should apply to both the CFB playoff and the CBB tournament. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sousa No. 6 Share Posted June 19, 2023 With the current trajectory at OSU (since JS arrived), they have a real chance to be in the post season picture. OSU football, men's BB, and women's BB all have reasonable shots at post season play and would benefit from unequal shares of post season money.

But only CFB and Men's CBB pay the big money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus No. 8 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Oregon State has nowhere else to go. They don’t want in a new Mountain West. Of course they will support unequal revenue sharing. So will Washington State. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 9 Share Posted June 20, 2023 John Canzano has only said the post season split has only been mentioned for football. Nothing about basketball or any other sports. I'm not sure any other sport other than basketball actually makes money from the post season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The college football playoff brings in and pays out a boat load of money and the boat is about to dramatically expand with the field going to 12 teams and possibly 16 teams come 2026.boatload Come 2026, far more media entities will be bidding for broadcast rights in addition to ESPN, today's sole CFB playoff media provider.
