Could someone translate that "NCAA unit distribution" gobbledigoop into plain English?
Sounds like they're looking at a larger share of the NCAA payouts to go to the team that earns them.
So, hypothetically, something like the conference gets 100% of game 1, 75% of game two, 50% of game 3+. And the WAC school in the tourney gets the rest.
A conference gets 1 unit per game played. Units are worth 330k-ish, per year, for 6 years, so roughly 2 million per game.
Which is like 150-200k per school in total over the 6 years. Under this scenario, they'd consider giving more benefits to the winner of any games, as this would incentivize winning(and most importantly, maybe let them retain coaches better).
