Anyone know how this type of deal works? Did ESPN negotiate with conference on this or did we do it directly? Do we get paid for this game being on TV? Does Miami get a share?

With no actual knowledge I guess any TV revenues are handled at the conference level. Carl and his staff in The Big Easy should be more experienced/sophisticated in negotiating such matters, and I think the all such revenues are distributed at the conference level regardless of which school earned them.

Both schools will get paid. Money probably announced later as ESPN may still be securing those advertisement dollars.

Does it have anything at all to do with ratings or viewership?
