Does the BE split NCAA money evenly?

[Palatine]

Or do the NCAA tournament teams get an added benefit? Does winning increase your take?

It would be better if someone who actually knows answers this question.

The exact split is not known, but the top teams who win the games do get slightly more

Big East Financials: How much do conference payouts cover?

As expenses explode for individual schools, Big East conference payouts are covering a smaller portion of that bill.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Though that article lumps all conference money,TV rights, etc... into one pot. Interesting 2013 was a better year, for almost every BE, than any since.

I have looked by haven't found anything that just talks about NCAAT money and how it is divided by the BE.

Just proof what a great partner UConn is. They go to the AAC, win a couple of natty's and those doofuses yawn. UConn comes back to the Big East, wins a natty killing every outsider in their path. Yet they let their conference rivals get a few licks in just to prop up the league's profile. Big East is now the cool league. Done and done.

FWIW only 1 championship, 2014, was in the AAC.

I think that we were probably referring to women's championships as well here. My understanding is that they split the same way

The American as an entity has only 2 titles for all sports. Both UConn.

From the article, the Big East conference is set to earn $30 million from the NCAA tournament this year.

March Madness 2023: Eliminated Early, SEC Nabs Tournament-High $34 Million

March Madness unit payouts will deliver tournament-high $34 million to SEC. The Big 12 ($32 million) is next, followed by the Big East ($30 million).

Well that answers one question (although not the one I asked).

Each unit (which is one game) is worth 2 million bucks. So we contributed 12 million dollars to the Big East 30 million dollar haul.

That's 40% of the total. It sure seems like we should get more than 2.7 mil.

The article states that the NCAA suggests the conferences share the payout evenly amongst members

I don't know if UConn will end up getting a higher payout, but before the tourney the Big East was hoping they would end up with at least 7 units and ended up with 15.

UConn will earn a lot of money off of the title separately, so my guess that the 30 million will be divided evenly

I don't know how the conference does it today but back when we were a nine school conference (until Miami joined) the conference would take a small piece to help cover administration costs for the conference then sit the remainder into ten equal shares. The school that earned the money would get one share and the remaining nine shares would go to each conference member.

I would imagine that some similar methodology is used today

According to the article, the finals don't count as a unit. No explanation as to why. So, UConn earned $10M or 1/3rd of the BE total.

Definitely not knowledgeable on this, but NCAA earns like a billion in revenue off of the men's tournament, and only pays out about a quarter of the revenue over time. Just seems like a bad allocation of money to men's basketball teams.

Also, how much does the NCAA earn from footballs playoffs and bowls?

 

[Billy Jack]

According to the NCAA, 90% of the money which it takes in from the tournament is redistributed to the member schools.

The NCAA earns nothing from football playoffs and bowls.
