Thanks to the College Football Playoff, bowl games paid more than a half billion dollars to conferences and schools last season, the largest payout ever and an increase of almost $200 million from the final season of the Bowl Championship Series.
According to an NCAA report released Tuesday, the 39 postseason FBS games distributed $505.9 million to the participating conferences and schools. The schools spent $100.2 million to take part in bowl games.
The revenue figures were reported by the bowls and the College Football Playoff to the NCAA and the schools supplied expense reports for participation, said Damani Leech, the NCAA's managing director, championships and alliances.

Total payouts from 35 postseason games from the 2013-14 season were $309.9 million, while schools spent $97.8 million to participate. For the 2012-13 season, payouts were $300.8 million and expenses were $90.3 million.
"The largest portion of that increase in revenue distribution in year over year can be directly attributed to the College Football Playoff," Leech said. "While there were four additional postseason bowl games last year versus the previous year that's, relatively speaking, immaterial."
