guess the 2012 payout for the remaining MW teams is going to be less than expected....

The seven-team league that disbanded in football after the '12 season had an average computer ranking of 72.7 (out of 124 FBS teams), beating out the MAC (80.2), Sun Belt (82.4), Conference USA (86.9) and Mountain West (88.3).

7 million of the $28.2 million will be divided evenly among the five non-BCS conferences (Conference USA, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt and WAC).

• Another $7 million is divided into 15 "units" based on conference strength. Because it is the No. 1 ranked non-BCS league this season, the WAC will receive five of those 15 shares, followed by the No. 2-ranked conference (MAC) getting four shares, etc.

• The MAC will get $8 million of the remaining $14 million as the participating conference (because of Northern Illinois).

• The other $6 million will be split up into those 15 units.

Ouch indeed, yet we return?

Gluttons for punishment.

However, the WAC ranking includes #16 USU and #21 SJSU, both MWC next year. MWC most likely would have been the highest of the non-BCS conferences if they were in this year's MWC.

Though after reading this guy's article, I am not too sure how accurate all his information is...He has SJSU winning the WAC, and seems to forget that Boise is going back to the MWC. He just phoned in this article and didn't bother to check much.
