Former NCAA executive director Dick Schultz and the association's executive committee decided to diminish the windfall from one game. What's more, teams do not earn units beyond the regional final, so the Pac-10 will not receive additional units if Arizona wins the title this weekend. You want to reward excellence, but nobody wants it all to be based on the tournament. That's why we have the other funds. No doubt, the plan rewards the power conferences that have a handful of teams in the tournament.
Some teams contribute more to the success of the tournament.
