***each game played in. Not even just wins.Isn't each win worth 2.2 million or so paid out to the conference over 6 years. With 14 that could be a huge payout.

And now we know why those games where UK is pretty much in but their SEC opponent needs to beat us to get in, end up in a loss with weird referee behavior.![]()
SEC to Earn $26M With Record 14 Men’s NCAA Tournament Bids
A decade ago, the SEC treated men’s basketball like an afterthought. Its investments since then are paying off.frontofficesports.com
26 Million is one really good bowl game in football it seems like.![]()

I get football makes more but we are talking 26 million dollars. Would you rather have it, or not have it?? This was Sankey and that Big East dudes plan. UK had to fall for others to rise. Kentucky dominance in the SEC cost the league millions. Enter John Higgins and his merry band. I just hate it, but it’s where we are.Can’t compare how much hoops makes to how much football makes. Football is a completely different (and much bigger) beast
Which is why the top teams are protected in football (need representation in the big money bowls and the playoffs) vs the top teams being used to resume build the 2nd tier to bubble teams in basketball.26 Million is one really good bowl game in football it seems like.
The officiating is exactly what got 14 teams in. It’s exactly how the league office wants it. Who’s gonna improve it??? The league that just made the most money ever. I’m sure they will fix it next year so they can make so much less. Arkansas was one example of a team that should not have made it in. Fland went out and all the sudden they are shooting 30 free throws a game and come back and make the tournament. Their win at Georgia was as corrupt as any game we had stolen this year.Hopefully enough to improve the officiating.
