Playoff revenue-split subcommittee features four ‘Big Five’ commissioners

One major detail of a four-team playoff that remains to be finalized is how revenue will be distributed to... well... no one really knows.

Thursday, college football’s power brokers took one step toward resolving that.

Interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas told Kirk Bohls of the Austin-American Statesman that a revenue-split subcommittee has been formed and will feature six conference commissioners. They are as follows: Bob Bowlsby (Big 12); Jim Delany (Big Ten); Mike Slive (SEC, pictured); John Swofford (ACC); Jon Steinbrecher (MAC); Craig Thompson (Mountain West).

Noticably absent is any representative from the Pac-12 and Big East, but the latter conference is currently in the middle of trying to find a new commissioner following the “resignation” of John Marinatto.
