Great article I missed a month ago from Bloomberg.

Only revenue earned while in MVC counted. If you leave the conference you leave your units.

Earners:
SIU Earned 13.99M Received 6.1M
Creighton Earned 11.92M Received 5.26M
Tulsa Earned 3.42M Received .3M
UNI Earned 8.74M Received 6.04
Wichita State Earned 7.97M Received 6.1M

Neutral
West Texas A&M Earned 0M Received 0M

Takers
Loyola Earned 0M Received .83M
Bradley Earned 4.68M Received 6.1M
Ind St Earned 3.51M Received 6.1M
Missouri State Earned 2.48M Received 6.1M
Ill St Earned 2.21M Received 6.1M
Drake Earned 1.41M Received 6.1M
Evansville Earned .71M Received 5.92M

If you look at the A10 the difference over 25 years would have been a distribution of 8.87M instead of 6.1 equating to 2.76M or a 110K per year.
The A10, like the MVC has some extreme takers Fordham and Duquense 0M Earned, St Bon 1.53M earned.

With the WCC the difference over 25 years would have been a distribution of 6.82M instead of 6.1 equally .72M or a 29K per year.

MVC Tulsa Earned 3.42M Received .3M
WAC Tulsa Earned 9.66M Received 2.71M
CUSA Tulsa Earned .26M Received 5.01M
AAC Tulsa Earned 0M Received 1.09M
Total Tulsa Earned 13.34M Received 9.11M

MVC Creighton Earned 11.92M Received 5.26M
NBE Creighton Earned .51M Received 1.74M
Total Creighton Earned 12.43M Received 7.00M

Interesting numbers. Thanks for posting.

WSU's numbers are not correct.

Breaking down WSU's actual earnings:

2015: $2,865,775 (3 shares 2015, 2 shares 2014, 5 shares 2013, 1 share 2012 = 11 shares * $260,525)
2014: $2,000,848 (2 shares 2014, 5 shares 2013, 1 share 2012 = 8 shares * $250,106)
2013: $1,471,224 (5 shares 2013, 1 share 2012 = 6 shares * $245,204)
2012: $242,204 (1 share 2012 = 1 share * $242,204)
2011: $718,992 (3 shares 2006 = 3 shares * $239,664)
2010: $666,618 (3 shares 2006 = 3 shares * $222,206)
2009: $645,546 (3 shares 2006 = 3 shares * ~$215,182)
2008: $625,143 (3 shares 2006 = 3 shares * ~$208,381)
2007: $605,385 (3 shares 2006 = 3 shares * ~$201,795)
2006: $586,248 (3 shares 2006 = 3 shares * ~$195,416)
Total: $10,427,983

Those last four numbers are approximates, as I put together a lot of tournament revenue information in a spreadsheet recently, but didn't want to go back any further than I had. Between 2010-2015, NCAA tournament shares (per Forbes) went up an average of 3.26% a year, so I just went backwards based on that average into prior years that I didn't have data for.

As best I can tell, SIU's number is correct, though. Their numbers for UNI are wrong across the board: nine shares, not seven, and by my calculations they earned $10,074,904 for the Valley in that time frame.

Just a random factoid I looked up out of my own interest: Given a steady 3.26% increase in share value per year, WSU will earn another $11,282,893 for the Valley through 2020 even if they don't make a single additional NCAA tournament appearance. That's more than double WSU's current earnings to date, without having to play a single additional game.

That's a well done article. I don't understand why two of the three teams I looked at the actual numbers for were so far off, though.

This article was written in March 2015. The April 2015payout had not been made yet.

If that's the case, then WSU only has 11 shares factored in, not 14. Only the S16 run this year brings WSU to 14 in this time period.

That does match UNI's numbers and more or less WSU's money totals, though.

I think one should take out any auto bids where the team is say a 13-16 seed. As an auto bid that didn't have a chance for an at large is really the "leagues spot" in the first place.

Unless of course said team happened to advanced past the first round. Was CU a 13 seed the year they beat Florida? I can't recall.
