STATE COLLEGE — Penn State will get full bowl revenue share in 2015. The Big Ten and the Council of Presidents/Chancellor made that decision this week, which will restore Penn State’s share of the conference bowl revenues for the upcoming football season.
According to gopsusports.com, in 2013 and 2014, as part of the sanctions put in place by the Big Ten, Penn State’s share of the conference’s bowl revenues were divided equally among 12 Big Ten schools and were distributed to child-focused organizations in their local communities.
Penn State President Eric Barron says, “These funds will help to support our 31 teams and more than 850 student-athletes.” He adds that they will continue to invest in teaching and research efforts focused on child abuse prevention and treatment.
