Tournament wins bring ACC record money

Darren Rovell of ESPN reports that the ACC will set a record for most money earned from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

In a report Saturday on ESPN.com,Rovell explained matters this way:

“Each game played in this year’s tournament is worth $265,791. That money is paid out in each of the next six years (2017-22), with the number for each game, or unit, growing each year of the payout. That puts the total value of a game played in this year’s tournament at more than $1.59 million.
