WEDESDY: eHUsY 2 - Friday, November 7, 2008 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers TUESDAY: Arbor Anecdotes Before You Were Here Campus Characters Explained____ Shielded by the Big Ten PANES OF ART With fans still reeling from the football team's first losing season in 40 years, the ques- tion now is how the team's lackluster performance will impart the Athletic Depart- ment's revenue. By failing to qualify for a bowl game for the first time in 34 years, Michigan also failsato rake in the money that comes with playing in a postseason contest. Bowl game payouts range from $300,000 per team for smaller howl games like Papa Johns Bowl up to $17 million per team for BCS games like the Rose Bowl The Athletic Department is projected to have a surplus of $10.3 million at the end of the 2005 financial year, but how much money will it lose by the team not making a bowl? Believe it or not, it might not lose any. Because of how bowl game payouts work, Michigan's postseason absence means the University will lose out on some money, but thanks to ehe success of other Big Ten teams, not that much. When a team is invited to participate in a bowl game, it splits what- ever money it makes with the other teams in the confer- ence. tn Michigan's case, that means dividing the revenue 11 different ways. The more Big Ten teams that make a bowl, the better Michigan does financially. Even though Penn State and Ohio State are the only Big 10 teams in serious contention for BCS game invitea, North- western, Minnesota and Michigan State are having above-average seasons and could make prominent bowl games, too. Because of that, those schools could offset the approximately $2 million that Michigan has earned each Big Ten school over the past three years. Last year, the Wolverines played in the Capital One Bowl in Florida, and in 2007 the team lost in the Rose Bowl. Three years ago the team lost in the Alamo Bowl. Members of the football team might be the biggest losers in the deal. Corporate bowl game sponsors typi- cally give athletes armloads of giveaways, from bookbags and video game consoles to department store gift cards. BENJAMIN CHASE r ..
