Potato, potato. At this point, each win is another appearance until the Finals.
We get paid for appearances in each round, so a loss is the same as a win in a given round. However, if you lose, you obviously don't get to move on and appear in another game. At this point, if you want more $$$ for the ACC, you would root for everyone to advance.But.....we get money for the losses too sooooooooooo it was worth correcting so when someone finds the number (it was $200k a couple years ago IIRC) they can get an accurate figure.
But carry on, do your thing

https://www.sbnation.com/college-ba...leges-make-off-the-ncaa-tournament-every-year from last year has more details, including the nugget that each unit was worth about $260k in 2017. The units are averaged over 6 years, and split among the conf teams in some relatively even fashion.
For the Duke-haters, you do have the silver lining that they face Va Tech, so you can root against Duke and still feel good about the $$$
So, if each appearance is worth (approximately) $280K for the conference and it is split evenly amongst all 16 teams, then GTAA gets $17,500 (again, speaking very roughly) from each appearance...and since a win does guarantee another appearance, each time an AC team wins it nets the GTAA about $17.5K. Cool. At least we get something from this. And now I can root against Duke against VPI&SU....and decide if it's worth $17.5K to root against UNC...LOL
There are only 15 teams, so it is $18,667 each.
Thus, in GT terms:
y = 18667n+18667x
where:
n= number of acc TEAMS in the tournament
x = number of acc WINS in the tournament
y = $$$ that GT gets

Wait, why?Then you divide it by 4, correct?
Wait, why?
The payments are made over a 4 year period I believe
They are paid over a 6 year period.
Again, games played is how it is calculated. Not wins. The championship game doesn't earn a unit regardless.
So if you have to use wins, it is wins +1 for wins up to the final four for participants.
With it being games played, wins do determine the value because wins are what create more games. But you are correct in that a win in the championship gets you nothing. So let's re calibrate the formula:
y = 18667(n+w-c)
where:
n= number of acc TEAMS in the tournament
w = number of acc WINS in the tournament
c = number of championships won by the acc
This is only for one year, so you do this for four years and then dump out the sum later. But for simplicity we can look at it as just one year at a time.
They just randomly decided the championship game doesn't get a payout? That seems really odd.You don't get a unit for playing in the championship game. So you don't get a unit for winning a final four game.
