Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

Doesnt the school that earned the shares get a bigger check or something like that?

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

The check is divided into 11 shares for the Valley the team in the game gets 2 shares

From what I have heard before, each "game check" sent to the Valley has been split between the member teams (which is now 9), the league office (1), and another to the team that earned the check (1). That would be a total of 11 pieces. I'm not sure if that is correct - just going off what I remember from past conversations on here.

Also, I imagine Creighton's checks will be split 10 ways since they are there to collect the other 1 portion for the part they "earned".

Too bad KSU pooped themselves. That would be an awesome S16 game to watch.

Maybe someone will pass legislation forcing them to play each other every year.

2012 shares were $258,000+, so 2013 shares should be over $260,000.

The MVC had 8 units from 2006. I think those expired last year. The 4 units from 2007 expired this year I believe. We only had 1 unit in 2008 and 2009, so the next 2 years the MVC doesn't lose much.

Does the price of shares increase of Final 4 or national championship appearances?

I am pretty sure the shares (units) are the same until you reach the championship game, then it goes up. I believe I read that somewhere.

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

here is a good explanation using the ACC as an example

Every game that a team participates in is considered a ‘Unit’ (with the exception of the Final). So each team can earn a maximum of five Units in any one Tournament, and the value of each Unit is determined by the Revenue Distribution Plan written by the NCAA.

this info is from the 2012 tourney, read the entire article here

Great game! Wichita State will be in the Elite 8 and has the best shot at a final 4 that the valley has had in a looooong time. Beating Ohio State would be a lot harder than Gonzaga, though.

Well, as a dual UNI/ISU fan who is in Dayton this weekend, I'm hoping that Ohio State doesn't get that far...

Gonzaga was not overrated. They are a very very good team. I thought they played really well last night. Wichita is also very good and played better. They hit the shots when they needed them. Great game.


Great win for the valley. Proves what we all know that the valley can go up against the best and win.

Valley pride was on display. This could not have come at a better time. The shockers represented very well.

They are a very good team, but not 1 seed good.

Re: Congrats to the Shockers!

ka ching! ka ching! ka ching! the cash register rings for everyone but Creighton. As far as sharing with a possible entry into the league, I'd say no!

I would think, however, that Creighton will be given their expenses? They won't be around to collect the rest. Let's hope they go all the way to the final four!

I just don't want to take anything away from the shockers and the valley by knocking the zags. In fact they were number one seed and the shocks beat then.

No one really knows how much the shares will be worth this year, but you are right, my projection of $240K is probably a little low. According to this source, 2012 shares were worth $239K. This source indicates 2013 shares will be worth $245K.

Either way, the MVC and UNI are looking at some good money for 6 years. I really hope we can continue getting multiple bids over the next few years.

Interesting stat: Over the last 6 years UNC has accumulated 20 shares and the entire ACC has accumulated 73 shares!!!
