Wonder if they still want to fire their coach? Fortunately they don’t have any say. What that coach did was change the style of play. He ditched the weave. The team got better as the season wore on. A sure sign of maturing players and good coaching. In fact SDSU needed a half court basket at the buzzer to get by NDSU in Fargo a couple weeks ago. A sweet win for them a bitter loss for NDSU. The tournament win was unexpected but not undeserved. The conference is good and getting better on both the men’s and women’s sides. The balance we saw at the SLT demonstrated that. I think Augie and it’s fans will make it even better. Let’s all hope for a Bison win. A win means 1.7 mill to the conference to be split.

NDSU is in the play in game against North Carolina Central, winner to play Duke. This is great for the conference since a play in win generates just as much revenue as a normal win.

Sounds like a loophole..... whatever dude! Take the cash. If that actually happens we can thank the bison for payouts twice this last 5 years, and the Jacks 0%, 0% of the time.

I just looked it up. The play-in game earns $0 unless they win. So we would have been better off with a team not in it. You get payout units for every game appearance except the play-ins and the championship. If NDSU loses the whole conference takes a pay cut for six years. Uff-da.
* edit: this is false.

Here’s what I found, though: www.apnews.com/753584516cd449b18c47512fb50cedb2"...Units are earned every game a team appears in, with the exception of the first game played by an automatic qualifier and the NCAA championship game." I think I mis-read this line. If this description is true, then 1-bid leagues like the Summit only get a payout with a win or an at-large bid. That's news to me. I thought we were getting 1.6/1.7 mil each year for just having an auto-bid. That sucks. So I'd agree with you that the play-in might actually be best-case scenario to try to get the payout.

Really shocked the Mavs and Dons aren’t playing in a tournament … especially UNO. If they were matched up against the Huskers in the NIT, heads would explode in Lincoln.

I read on another board so its second hand informational but the payout is made over a period of five years to each of the conference teams. There is no bonus payment to the winner in the Summit. I don’t remember when the Bison beat OK State but those payments must be coming to an end. This is just in time for all of us.
Its a favorable match-up for the Bison. NCC (North Carolina Central). Is the lowest ranked team in the tournament. As I understand it the winner gets #1 Duke. Im not sure if there is any more money for playing that game.
The exposure for the conference should help recruiting for all teams.

It's crazy that the play-in losers get as much for their games as the Final Four participants will for their semifinal game in Minneapolis, but for once it might benefit the Summit! It's a very odd instance of the NCAA distributing revenues in a way that actually helps the little guys. It would make way more sense for me if each round was the same pot, divided up amongst fewer and fewer conferences each round, but that's not the case. I do wonder how the Summit actually divides these revenue streams though. I know that's been brought up before but I don't think anyone actually knew if it was equally divided or not.

Really shocked the Mavs and Dons aren’t playing in a tournament Omaha turned town a postseason tournament a few years back so that's not surprising. PFW probably can't afford it.

It costs way too much to participate in the CBI and CIT. No way they were getting invited to the NIT (which ironically is free despite being way more recognized).

I really wish the NIT would expand their field to 64 teams similar to the WNIT and then we could get rid of the CIT & CBI.
