A&M to split Cotton Bowl profit!
with other conference schools
Texas A&M and Notre Dame
each will receive an estimated $2.2
million for appearing in the 1988
Cotton Bowl Classic, Mike Justice,
Cotton Bowl business and ticket
manager, said Jan. 5.
But while Notre Dame — with no
conference affiliation — gets to keep
all it receives from the Jan. I game,
A&M must share with the other
Southwest Conference schools.
In 1987, A&M and Ohio State
University each received $2,169 mil
lion from the bowl appearance, with
A&M keeping $604,953 of its share.
The other SWC schools each re
ceived $240,000. Wally Groff, A&M
associate athletic director for fi
nance, said he doesn’t know how
much A&M will end up with this
year, but that it should be close to
last year’s figure.
A&M’s final share of the funds
goes to the Athletic Department.
Out of the funds the department
gets to keep from a bowl appear
ance, it must pay for the expenses of
taking about 160 players plus
coaches and trainers to a major bowl
game. Travel expenses, meals, lodg
ing and entertainment of the play
ers, coaches and others account for a
most of the expenses, Grofl said
This year, the team had 1 12 play
ers arrive in Dallas Dec 26, he said
and around 50 mostly walk mis
and injured players —arrived Dec
30.
A&M also buys hats, watches and
plaques for players, coaches and oth
ers associated with the football team,
Groff said. All players, including
walk-ons and members of the 12th
Man Kick-off Team, receive these
gifts, he said. A&M also had to pay
for any extra equipment needed for
the game and complimentary tickets.
Although the bills for those ex
penses aren’t in yet, Groff said that
based on last year’s figures he ex
pects the department to have
roughly $450,000 in expenses and a
net profit of about $150,000.
Each player and others associated
with the team also receive a ring foi
winning the conference, but the
rings are Southwest Conference
Championship rings and are not
considered a t.otton Howl
expense. Groff said.
Last yeai, Colloti tiovslc
and the SWC revenue
nearu A&M could sliocc anti
of only $151,781 from the
million it received, Groff said
Most SWC teams that gel;
cat the Cotton Bowl mont'
have bowl game expenses
might seem betlci financialh
home during the bowl seas«|
Groff said that’s not the use
The bowl appeal ante is
sive, he said but the footbt
giam has benefited from its
pearances because of the im
exposure it has received,
helps with recruiting, he said
Winning the confetencert
the Cotton Bowl also helps inn
attendance at the partidj
school, helping the athletic
ment make more money, hesai|
A&M also will teceive >1
$20,000 as a result ofbowlij
