WSU - Final Four

[06panther10]

Most love to hate WSU, myself included. That said, its time to bow down to the Shox. All hail the Shockers.

Valley hoops all the way.

Re: WSU - Final Four

I believe it's worth double a normal game

sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk for one percenters

hmmmm the Championship is worth 0 units.... I wonder why that is???

That doesn't make sense

in most years it's the BCS schools that make the final game, so the NCAA figures that those schools don't need any more $$ than what they already have, so they don't award any more units once you make the final 4

Re: WSU - Final Four

good article explaining the $$ the MVC is earning this year alone

Re: WSU - Final Four

So how much $$ does that mean to UNI per year?

Re: WSU - Final Four

Show how much $$ does that mean to UNI per year?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong... According to that previous link is says a share is $250k/yr for 6 years. So, from the Wichita State games we get $1.25 mil/11 (9 for each team minus Creighton, 1 for the league office, 1 extra for Wichita) = approx $113k for the next 6 years. Plus, the Creighton games mean $500k divided throughout league. I'm not sure if they get a portion of it, since it was their games? So figure anywhere between $42k (if it's split 12 ways with Creighton) and $50k (if it's split 10 ways, without Creighton).

Creighton forfeits their NCAA $$ for leaving without a years' notice. So the 9 MVC schools will divide the NCAA shares 10 ways. 2 for WSU, 1 for the other 8.

Counting 2013 the MVC has 16 shares 08'-1, 09'-1, 10'-3, 11'-1, 12'-3, 13'-7

16 x $250,000 = $4 million next year. Divide that 10 ways.

Re: WSU - Final Four

I think cycarp has it right. The mvc office definitely gets a share and I don't think WSU gets 2 shares of CU's earnings.

Right, every team gets one share per game. The team playing in the game gets a 2nd bonus share.

This.

With the departing of CU, we can't afford to let our rivalries get in the way of anything good for the conference. The MVC is vulnerable right now and this run by WSU comes at a perfect time.

I've been rooting hard for WSU up to this point and would love to see them bring home the title.

Re: WSU - Final Four

People complain about WSU fans, (and NDSU fans in football) being annoying and full of themselves. But I'm pretty sure people view UNI fans in the same light, especially during our successful years. (okay, maybe not as annoying as certain NDSU folks, but still)

I would like to disagree with that. During out best year we were too busy complaining about getting a 9-seed to be cocky and annoying. Then after beating KU we only had a week to celebrate before Michigan State brought us back down to Earth.

Re: WSU - Final Four

every fan base has their bad fans. I've been to Wichita, Peoria, Des Moines, and Omaha. They all have the jackass 40 year old guy with bad facial hair (usually a Top Gun mustache) setting a terrible example for his kids by yelling at the coaches, opposing players, refs, and cussing like a drunken sailor getting thrown out of a bar at Mardi Gras. That being said, Wichita has great fans that fill out a great arena, night in, night out. We should be that lucky
