I don't know whay I have never asked this before but in recruiting money you get scholorship money and shared conference money, but do you get extra money just for yourself based on how far you made it in the NT? Or is it just the shared pot?

I believe it is just the Pot divided up 12 ways. The "extra money" could be from your prestige. Its not actual money but by making the NT your prestige goes up making your money work better than someone of a lower prestige level.

Out of Zhawks guide to new coaches:

Note: There is a maxium amount of recruiting monies you can have. It is equal to 6 open schoolies worth of money AND your conference post season earnings.

First if you fill all of your ‘ships the year before you get 25% of your remaining money carried over.

For every ‘ship you have open you get a certain amount of money depending on division, Division III: $3,000 per ‘ship, Division II: $5,000 per ‘ship, Division I: $15,000 per ‘ship

Also Postseason play comes in. You get the following money depending on how well your division did the previous year in the Postseason:

For the National Tournament:

In Division III, conferences will earn $3,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
In Division II, conferences will earn $5,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
In Division I, conferences will earn $20,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
For the PostSeason Invitational:

In Division III, conferences will earn $1,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
In Division II, conferences will earn $1,500 per game played by one of it's members schools
In Division I, conferences will earn $5,000 per game played by one of it's members schools

That's what I thought. Damn socialist game.

The Big Ten really does do that with bowl money, I believe - and the Big 12 divides it evenly between bowl-eligible teams.

All conferences do that to an extent, but it isn't evenly distributed. The bigger bowl you go to the more money you get.

you also get a few extra bucks for FSS. I think D2 is around $500 and D1 is around $1500.

Again, not true. Money is evenly distributed in at least the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-10, and WAC.
