UCONN lost $$$ playing in it recently


using a kind of dishonest accounting people made it look like UConn lost money. The bowl payouts are shared with the conference, so if you take their share minus their expenses for the game, then they lost money. That doesn't count their of other Big East Bowls or account for the fact that UConn gets the same share in years they didn't go to BCS Bowls.

i don't think the MAC has nearly enough to make up for the losses NIU will sustain, though

I dont think sharing bowl money is universal among conferences. I Don't know if big east does it or not though
