Do Teams Get to Keep the Money from Hosting a Playoff Game?

Honest question.

Not trying to veer off into "silver lining" territory, as I know a lot of us aren't ready to be thinking that way yet, but I've been wondering this all year.

I know having a certain number of home games (especially at a place like OSU with a 100,000+ seat stadium and tickets that go for hundreds of dollars apiece at face value) is a must to keep the athletic department afloat.

An extra home game--especially against a marquee opponent in an elimination game--would seem to be a huge boon to the OSU coffers.

Do we get to keep that? Does it somehow go to the NCAA or CFP entities? Does it get redistributed to the Big Ten? (I would assume media money does... but ticket sales?)

Seems like kind of a big deal that not a lot of people are talking about...
