All these NCAA changes should help the Uconn AD, with 2 strong basketball programs. Because Uconn can certainly use the $$$........... not being in a P-4 conference, who have more TV revenue. Then again with Uconn being able to bring in more $$$ because of hoops, it might make them more valuable ( #Big 12 / #ACC )....

"Schools participating and winning in March Madness will earn "performance units" in a structure similar to the one used for years in the men's tournament. The units, which represent revenue earned, will first be available to earn at the 2025 tournament; the financial rewards from this spring will be distributed in 2026 directly to the schools' conferences."

NCAA will pay women's basketball teams that participate in March Madness tournament starting in 2025

NCAA members unanimously voted to introduce financial rewards — as it has for years with the men's tournament — starting this spring.

Dear UConn Nation,
"The seismic movements in collegiate athletics over the past few years, including Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal, have reshaped our industry. And this spring, another game changer will shake college sports, as the House settlement is expected to be approved, setting the stage for institutional revenue sharing with student-athletes beginning in the 2025-26 academic year. .... Universities will be allowed to directly share revenues with student-athletes, in addition to providing already-existing benefits such as scholarships, housing and meals."
