Overview
- Miami has retained $14 million to date under the ACC’s 2024–25 success-initiatives model, which allows schools to keep their College Football Playoff payouts.
- The Hurricanes’ total reflects $4 million for making the 12-team field, $4 million for a first-round win, and $6 million for a quarterfinal victory.
- With a semifinal win over Ole Miss on Jan. 8, Miami would add $6 million for a potential $20 million haul, plus $3 million in travel payments for each round played.
- Conference officials adopted the keep-what-you-earn approach after rising revenue tensions, with recent legal challenges from Florida State and Clemson cited in local reporting as part of the backdrop.
- This is the final season of performance-based CFP distributions; next year’s formula shifts to fixed shares of roughly 29% each for the Big Ten and SEC, 17% for the ACC, 15% for the Big 12, and 10% for the Group of 6, as the Big Ten remains the largest cumulative beneficiary so far.
