Appreciate it!

It’s always been my understanding that the payout for NCAA Tournament units go to the conference over six years. Assuming this is what he’s referring to, won’t FIU get more direct money from this run than FAU considering FAU is changing leagues? Will FAU get any payout this year on the way out the door?

What's an NCAA Tournament unit worth? Millions. Here's how

The upstart run for Loyola Chicago making the Final Four last year delivered more than just excitement for fans of Sister Jean and the Ramblers.

It’s a yearly payout to the conference that gets redistributed to each team & they choose how to allocate it back into the program.

In 2021, the Unit payout for each tourney Win up until the Final Four was roughly $342,000 per win.

But conferences also get Unit points for number of teams in Tourney, At-Large bids & top seeding.

Impact of a successful athletic program.
I wonder if Guy would cook a pregame meal for the Hoops team next year.
Does he know how to cook anything healthy? .

Found the UMASS AD speculating that they’ll likely see virtually none of the money. Of course, they’ll make far more NCAA Tourney over the long run in the AAC.

If that’s true that sucks...

I always thought it was payouts through the fiscal year at the end of the season & because CBB seasons are always from 1 year into another (21-22, 22-23 etc), that it’s basically 2 year payout by the NCAA.

But idk exactly, the NCAA is such a fraudulent organization, they rake in BILLIONS from March Madness & still selectively penny pinch with who they pay the most.

When we make the final four can we include that $ as part of our payoff to leave the ACC

 

[Genghis Cane]

UConn is scary, man. If we get past Texas, we’re in for one **** of a matchup.

 

[plantcity3]

I dont know if UConn is that good or if Gonzaga is just that slow and unathletic

They can still take their share and run..

We MUST get past Texas now that Howard’s OTHER Florida team got into the Final Four.

After the UConn beat down of the Zags, talk has gone from "anyone can win this Tourney" to "just give the Huskies the NC now." If they do win, what will this be, 4 or 5 men's championships for them?

It'd be their 5th. I'm from CT and I hate Uconn. I'm glad the women lost yesterday lol.

FAU Is a grear example of why all the hand-wringing over Tourney seed was/is such a crock. UNC, an 8 seed last year, just another example.

Saw a tweet that of the starters on Elite Eight teams, 19 of the total of 40 are transfers. Tells you alot about how top teams are built in 2023.

We've got two homegrown players and three xsfers.

 

[hotshot]

I had FAU winning today they just play so well. This tournament is so perfect

I was a Soph at UM when FAU opened it's doors as an academic institution. That had to be for the Fall term of 1964. Think LBJ, on a campaign trip through Florida at the time, cut the ribbon or whatever they do to open a college.

So the travel expenses of Miami and other ACC teams are probably reimbursed, then the rest is thrown into the pot for even distribution among all ACC teams. It seems to say that you max out when you get to the Final Four but earn no more for winning semi or the final.
