Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 5282712, member: 6872"] Okay, this is all new and I could be wrong, but it appears that UConn will get no more money than SCar for the 2025 championship. Furthermore, it appears that neither will earn more than Texas or UCLA. Each team gets a “ unit” share for each game they play in the tournament [I]except the championship game. [/I][B][I]Thus: First round and out gets 1 unit 32 round and out gets two units sweet 16 and out gets 3 units Elite and out gets 4 units Final 4 participants all get 5 units only[/I][/B] Fox estimates that a unit in the 2025 tournament will have a value of $130,000. Thus, the Final Four teams will each earn $650,000. However, it is paid to the team’s conference rather than the school. That money will be divided among the member schools by whatever the individual conferences have agreed upon. Of course, the Big got the most teams in the tournament ( but has more members than the SEC). Most conferences got only one or two bids. I’m sorry, I don’t have the time to breakdown how many “units” were earned by each conference. Someone will get to it eventually. Some thoughts UConn should have gotten 7 units for the Bug East. SCar should have gotten 6 units but that’s not the way it works. As I understand it, a school can use its entire proceeds for NIL or none at all. The p-4 will have more moneys from more units and can afford to spend more of it on NIL. The rich get richer . Non P-5s other than UConn are gonna fall further behind in collection of talent. I’m not optimistic for the future of G-5 women’s basketball. I’m not crazy about where we are headed. Money rules. Anyway, please point out if I’m wrong about anything I’ve said. Calculate some conference total units if you feel the desire . ( I may calculate the SEC totals later today) [/QUOTE]
