For the 2025-26 CFP, the ACC is allowing the University of Miami to keep all of the $14 million it has earned in CFP payouts so far — instead of the conference keeping a portion — because of a new “success incentives” revenue model the ACC adopted this season. That rule change lets teams retain all of their CFP money rather than sharing it with the rest of the conference.
Under the old system, conferences typically kept part of the CFP payout and redistributed it evenly. But the ACC’s updated model (part of changes tied to competitive and financial issues in the league) lets Miami keep the full amount it earned by making and winning games in the expanded 12-team playoff — even though it didn’t play in the ACC title game.
