Atlantic 10 NCAA Units


Recommended Posts

Does anyone recall how the distribution of NCAA Tournament Money works in the Atlantic 10?  For some reason, I thought it was that the school in the tournament gets half the money and the conference splits the other half.  From a 2013, message board post, it appears the split is 75% to the team and 25% to the conference

But I didn't know if these numbers were still accurate.

For those interested, an NCAA game last year was worth about $1.7 million overall (to the conference and school, but different conferences divide the pie differently).  So if the 75-25 number is still accurate, winning on Sunday was worth about $1.3 million.

I believe the 75-25 split is still accurate.  Each unit is paid out over six years beginning the year after the the unit is earned.  Last season SLU would have got around $1.3 million for six units total earned in the 2012-14 tournaments.  This season it dropped to around $860,000 as the units for 2012 dropped off.  Next season the 2013 units will be gone and the season after that the 2014 units will be gone.
