There's over $20m reasons not to drop football entirely.
The Big Ten, Southeastern and Pac-10, which each had two teams in BCS bowls, will receive about $27.2 million each, while the ACC, Big East and Big 12 will each receive roughly $21.2 million. ... and a new high of $24.7 million for the five conferences that don't get automatic bids to the BCS bowls.
