Bowl games mean more than fame and a vacation
Schools profit from bowl bids
By Kristi Fogler
Kansan staff writer
Today, post-season college football bowtie games mean more than national exposure and a trip for fans and players to some place like Florida, California or Hawaii. To many teams and conferences, it means big payoffs and more money.
Hadl estimated that the department would
The $750,000 that Kansas will receive for going to the Aloha Bowl may sound big, but it is not when compared to other bowls. The money might pay only for the cost to send the team, coaches, cheerleaders and band members to Honolulu, said John Hadl, assistant athletic director.
es. The Athletic Department may run into additional costs if the almost 8,000 tickets given to Kansas by the bow's organizers are not sold. It will cost at least $482,000 to send the Jawhacks to Hawaii.
The department will net at most $268,000 for Kansas' participation, according to Hall's estimates. In fact, Kansas also will receive money from the Big Eight Conference's participation in the Orange Bowl. Each Big Eight school will get about $350,000 when the conference champion, either Nebraska or Colorado, plays in the Orange Bowl.
There is speculation that Colorado may go to the Fiesta Bowl. If Colorado does, the payoff is $3 million per team. Colorado would deduct team expenses from that amount and turn the rest over to the conference which would divide the remaining money equally among all eight teams, said Carl James, conference commissioner. Kansas would
none of the other Big Eight schools will profit from from one team going to Hawaii because of the lower payoff.
Nebraska spent about $1 million just on travel expenses for the Orange Bowl last year, said Gary Fourier, assistant athletic director for business affairs at Nebraska.
Fouraker said the Orange Bowl was one of the more expensive bowls because of its national prominence. The bigger the bowl, the more university officials and VIPS a team needs to bring, he said. For example, the entire Nebraska football band, which has about 200 members, attended the Orange Bowl, but Kansas is paying only for a smaller pep band of about 30 Marching Jayhawks.
The trip to Honolulu is not about money, Hadi said.
"It's really for the players, coaches and fans," he said. "It's for the people who made this thing happen. Besides it’s prestige. It’s national television on Christmas Day and it
