I believe every conference splits the payout amongst ALL of its members. For example, The Big XII took OU's and Texas' BCS payouts and split them evenly across its twelve schools.
BCS payout is anywhere from 11 to 17 million guaranteed; if they win then a little more.
The payout for the 2013 Outback Bowl is $3.4 million (US) per team. That ranks the Outback Bowl third among all non BCS bowl games for highest payout behind the Capital One Bowl ($4.25M per team) and the Cotton Bowl Classic ($3.625M per team). BCS bowls will pay out $18 million per team for the 2013 games that follow the 2012 season.
There is no real difference in importance. But I personally believe that the best two are the Rose and Cotton Bowls, simply because more national championships were played in those bowls than any other bowls before the NCAA went to the BCS system. The prestige of a bowl game is typically measured by the payout each team receives for participating. This year, each of the ten teams invited to a BCS Game (including the National Championship Game) is $18MM, therefore there is nothing more (or less) prestigious amongst any of the four lesser BCS games.
