Well done, Shockers! You put another nail in the coffin for my bracket, but I can't hold it against you. 76-70 with 6.3 seconds left.

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

Odd question, but doesn't the school get money for each win in the NCAA tournament and that money goes towards their conference?

Always nice to see overrated teams go down. The announcer needs to stop talking about what a "huge upset" this is. I don't consider it in the same galaxy as some of the #9s beating #1s.

I completely agree. They will be favored in their sweet 16 matchup.

Yes and yes.

Fantastic!!! MVC is representing very well.

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

That's a hell of a win. Now of Creighton would do us all a solid and leave us another win share on their way out the door, that would be really nice.

This is the kind of thing that gets us extra bids. Big night.

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

For each unit (game) the conference gets $240,000/year for 6 years. So far, the MVC has at least 5 units for this tournament.

This means UNI should get a check for at least $133,000/year for the next 6 years just for this year's shares.

How large of a part does that play on our annual budget for the program?

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

The annual budget for the entire athletic department is something close to $14MM, but I'm not sure how much MBB represents.

Didn't the courier release the financial numbers for each program last summer?
