Al, from what others have posted here about the Spud Bowl this wasn't true last year and wouldn't be true this year.  I don't remember the details but they are reported to actually pay the MAC team some kind of travel allowance, which is not true of the other MAC bowls.  The picture that was painted is that it's a better deal for the MAC participant than the other MAC bowls.  However, I saw a posting indicating that the Go Daddy has doubled its payout to $1.5 million, but I don't know what's in the fine print, so it may or may not now be a better deal than the Spud.

yeah... that page is not particularly accurate. i think they just guessed at some of them.

This link, which seems up to date considering the countdown to kickoff counter, says "combined payout of $1.5."
