really needs to be broken down into a per school average to have a real understanding of the benefits of conference affiliation. For example the Big 12 really has outstanding revenue because of smaller membership.

Our Bowl Rev. isn't that far behind the P5, we just gotta get our TV Rev. up by winning which adds to fanbase/tv viewership. There is know way the Catholic 7 should have double our TV Rev.
