Holiday Bowl cancelled. UCLA with Covid. I was really looking forward to watching that game. Does the conference miss a payday as a result?

With the exception of the NY6/CFP games most of the Pac-12 bowl games don't really end up distributing a lot of money to the rest of the conference members.  The BigTen and SEC normally have 3 or 4 teams in bowls that create meaningful allocations to its members, but for most of the last decade the only bowl in that category for the Pac-12 has been the Rose Bowl.

The Holiday Bowl was set to payout $6.5M.   Given they will have all of the expenses and very little of the revenue they likely will not give anything to the teams.   However, even if they did issue their full payout each Pac-12 school would likely get something in the $250-$300K range after the participating bowl team's expenses.   So the lost money is likely not a big deal to the conference or its members.
