Big Ten 1st in tourney money; SEC sets own high

Since there is no more money to be earned from the tournament now that we have reached the Final Four, here are this years results.........

2019 Tournament Units/Money by conference:

1. Big Ten - 21 units - $35.5 million +
2. ACC - 20 units - $33.8 million +
3. SEC - 19 units - $32.1 million +
4. Big 12 - 13 units - $22 million +
5 (tie) PAC 12 - 7 units - $11.8 million +
5 (tie) - AAC - 7 units - $11.8 million +
7 (tie) - Big East - 5 units - $8.4 million +
7 (tie) - WCC - 5 units - $8.4 million + (Gonzaga has a special deal with the WCC to keep a greater share of the units it earns and they earned 4 units. It is what kept them in the WCC when they could have went to the Mountain West)
9. Ohio Valley - 4 units - $6.7 million +

Everyone else earned 2 units or less.

There is no doubt that Rutgers is the luckiest school in the land.

AAC keeps getting stronger. Good to see. Imagine if Memphis and UConn are playing as ranked teams. The AAC could easily regularly be a 5 bid league for the tournament.

I think we have a case study on what big money from the Big Ten might or might not be able to do to create a basketball powerhouse............

'We're all-in on basketball': Money for Fred Hoiberg, assistants ranks high in Big Ten

New Nebraska head basketball coach Fred Hoiberg will make $3.57 million per year. Three assistant coaches will make a combined $1 million. Athletic Director Bill Moos credited "tremendous revenue streams" from a full share of Big Ten money that is allowing it to compete with the nations top basketball budgets.
