11 Units for the Big East (3) and 10 for the MWC (6).
So UConn has earned 5 Units while Creighton & Marquette earned 3 each for the conference.
UConn and DePaul will both receive $2 million earned this year.
Ebon also posted a video explaining how units work.

And this is why the BE only getting 3 bids really hurts.
And why Marquette and Creighton spitting the bit hurts.

The real problem with the Big East buttering their bread with credits is the feast or famine nature of it. I'd prefer to have a regular payout that can be counted on every single year.
I always find it more interesting to look at units above expected (particularly over a range of years)... I wouldn't say either team spit the bit (Creighton actually finished where it's seed would project them too), the Big East finished one below what they would expect based on the seeds (contrary to the narrative, the Mountain West actually finished one ahead):
Units above Expectation this year (play-in games confer 0.5 expected units):
1) ACC +4.5
2) Pac-12 +1.5
T-3) 7 Tied with +1
--
32) Big XII -7
31) SEC -4
T-29) American & Big East -1

This emphasizes the importance of the loss of the bids to Seton Hall, St. John's, impossibly Providence. If all three of them get in that's another 6 million to the conference. If two of them win a game that's another 4 million.

Say what you want about the B1G not winning a basketball championship in over two decades, those teams still draw the tv ratings. I want to see the Iowa-LSU women's ratings from last night. I bet it beats the men.

Greg is an amazing commentator and he does like UConn.Cloak and Dagger! Keep your head on a swivel. HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!
Another reason to pull March Madness away from the corrupt NCAA... What a joke!
They clearly sucked up to the P-2 and soon to be dissolved ACC. With Seton Hall, St.Js and maybe PC, the BE gets another 6-8 units.
Well there is nothing more to do now except smash the crap out of Alabama and whoever else this weekend!

Probably deserves its own thread but triple-tasking:
"the corrupt NCAA"... yeah because its been real clear NCAA employees have been stuffing their pants full of cash, huh?
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its corrupt.
Scary article. All current P5 members and SMU will be in. All others will be out, but may be able to earn a spot if they improve. Bottom feeders in the P5 can continue to be bottom feeders and will be forever safe. Terrible news for UConn. SMU was very smart to get into the ACC even if it meant 10 years of no income.

I think we can squeeze in with a few others if it comes to that. Sure would be a good time to win dual natties again. We’ve got to stay way above the other non P5 schools in stature.
Sadly, it has nothing to do with basketball. Only football matters. The thing I don't understand with the new realignment is how the SEC and B1G members reassigned to a new conference feel about getting less money. Also what is the effect on TV networks that fund the conferences. The B1G and SEC will not be happy sharing.

Some don't think this proposal will ever come to pass.

I still think it does when you get to the very end. The B12 sees value in bball, women’s basketball is booming now and we have the best programs in the country on both sides. It helps a lot more than it hurts.

The only thing that could make this more of a loser would be if Aresco was pitching it.
The Syracuse chancellor IS one of the leaders of this group
you really don't get it, do you? They can already cut you out. They do not care about you and never did.
reality is this is a first pass... they won't finish at 80. they'll shed other schools as they go along and maximize the markets.

The bottom end P4 schools are spearheading this. The tell: they can't be relegated, and they are officially on the same level as the Alabamas of the world. It's not happening.
