Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 2106676, member: 2500"] I was just doing some quick math on NCAA Tourney units earned by the American over past six years, which is depressing. From 2012, UConn will earn 23 units as that includes units from all the BE teams that participated. In 2016, the ACC earned 25 units, for what that's worth. Anyway, as if we need more proof our our declining fortunes, here's the tally on units we've got coming to use (units are paid out over six years): 2012: 23 2013: 19 2014: 11 2015: 3 2016: 4 2017: 3 Each unit is worth around $150K, give or take $10K as value changes year-to-year. We get $283K for the 2014 NC due to some kind of bonus structure, otherwise, it's around $150K. So for the moment, our revenue stream from NCAA units looks something like this: 2017: $1,747K 2018: $1,172K 2019: $ 697K 2020: $ 266K 2021: $ 188K 2022: $ 81K Willing to cede to someone with more precise accounting and knowledge of payouts, but this is how I understand it. And those are pretty sad numbers. The one benefit is that we're only splitting 11 ways vs. 16, but the AAC needs to step it up and pick up 9-10 units per year to get us relatively close to old BE levels. [/QUOTE]
