Those schools get a portion of the conferences take IIRC. I think it is ~ 1M... not quite the full 1.3. This really isn't threadworthy.

^^ UCLA

Duke or State gets 1.167M if 1 ACC team makes the BCS. 2.333M if 2 ACC teams make the BCS>

Well, for now they are. And be thankful that who receives BCS is not based on performance. Just like Notre Dame, the ACC is on the BCS contract, despite their BCS record showing they are no better than the Mountain West Conference or the WAC.
