Thanks to four men’s teams from the Pac-12 Conference making the NCAA Tournament — and all winning at least one game — Washington State and Oregon State have added another chunk of change to their coffers over the last couple weeks.
If only those same payouts were available on the women’s side of the tournament. Then the remaining two schools carrying the banner of the Pac-12 moving forward would really be cashing in.Units are what the NCAA calls its revenue distributions from a fund that rewards teams for tournament performance. The NCAA Tournament generates more than $700 million in revenue for the association and its schools, the vast majority from its media rights deal with CBS and Turner.
The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics this week reiterated its call for the NCAA to equally distribute performance units for the men’s and women’s tournaments. The Knight Commission first proposed equal revenue distribution base on performance in the men’s and women’s tournaments in 2021."I’ve heard they’re doing a retroactive units program. I think that would be wonderful," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said smiling at the Portland Regional last week.
