UCF receives $7.9 million in revenue as part of AAC’s annual payout – Orlando Sentinel
“…The conference distributed $88.36 million of revenue to 12 members, with Cincinnati leading the way with $9.44 million, followed by Houston ($8.52 million), Tulsa ($7.98 million), Memphis ($7.97 million), UCF ($7.96 million), Tulane ($7.88 million), SMU ($7.65 million), Temple ($7.63 million), East Carolina ($7.58 million), USF ($7.56 million) and Navy ($5.33 million)…”
Can’t wait to get into the Big 12.
Tulsa totin’ coins.
Tulsa more valuable than Memphis???
Tiger fans gonna have their tails tucked…
Just curious, why did you single out UCF’s payment?
I am going to guess because that was the title of the article, not necessarily because of any specific UCF interest.
Oh, I can buy that. Didn’t really pay attention to that. 
UCF-received-$7.9%20million
The conference distributed $88.36 million of revenue to 12 members, with Cincinnati leading the way with $9.44 million, followed by Houston ($8.52 million), Tulsa ($7.98 million), Memphis ($7.97 million), UCF ($7.96 million), Tulane ($7.88 million), SMU ($7.65 million), Temple ($7.63 million), East Carolina ($7.58 million), USF ($7.56 million) and Navy ($5.33 million).
The distribution was for fiscal year 2020-21, the Covid year. Tulsa’s record was 6-1 in the AAC. The loss was to UC. The only scheduled OOC game was a loss to Oklahoma State. It then lost to Miss. State in the Armed Forces Bowl.
UCF’s AAC record was 5-3. UCF beat Georgia Tech in its only scheduled OOC game. It then lost to BYU in the Boca Raton Bowl.
UCF played one more conference game than Tulsa. Tulsa had a better conference record.
It’s the same rationale that cost UH a regular season basket ball championship. It’s the regular season record regardless of the number of games played. Tulsa and WSU won because of better conference records while playing fewer games. According to the AAC, you can win playing fewer games. This affects records. It also affects money distributed by the AAC. The problem with this rule is a team could play only one conference game and be the champion while another team loses 1 out of 10.
The significant question is: should Tulsa ever receive more money from the AAC than UCF? Which schools built the AAC? The AAC members are not receiving
$7million per year for what Tulsa contributes.
$8.52 million for us is $5 million more than the most we’ve ever received from our conference. Even with that, we are over a half a billion dollars behind Tech and Baylor EACH from what they’ve received since 1996
Steve…nailed it. THAT is The Great Divide…
We lost out on Millions, Prestige, Donations, Recruits, you name it…
Yep. And think about the load that Cincy carried the whole year. They made the playoffs and got less than a million more than the last place team.
Does that include basketball tournament credits?
Does that include our portion of UCONN’s buyout?
So, do the 3 defectors give that money back to the AAC as part of the buyout?
Mike,
Sorry for late reply. Yes, it was from the title.
