[I]An incredible run in the NCAA tournament by ACC teams will result in more than $28 million going back to the conference over the next six years.

The conference is 11-1 in the tournament, making up five -- Notre Dame, Louisville, North Carolina State, North Carolina and Duke -- of the Sweet 16 teams. The lone loss was Virginia, which lost to Michigan State on Sunday.

The NCAA pays conferences for the performances of their teams in a tournament over a six-year time period beginning in the following year. Teams earn a unit per game played with the exception of the championship game, which is not included.

Next year's units are worth $260,525 each and will increase in value over the next five years they are collected through 2021. That means each game played in this year's tournament is worth at least $1.56 million...[/I]
