In case anyone had the same question I did. The SMU snub cost the AAC at least $1.5 million.

"At the end of the day, the direct value of a March Madness bid is worth about six installments of $250,000. This amount increases by $1.5 million for every additional round a team advances. So the next time you see players cheering for their teams in the NCAA Tournament, remember that it will, quite literally, pay for them to win."

So it should really be the school presidents that should be cheering? It's not like the kids get any of that money although they are the ones doing the work. </indentured servitude>

Graduating with a degree and no tuition and room and board debt is a pretty good pay check for someone attending SMU. Somewhere in the range of $250,000 over 4 years. Servitude indeed.

Yeah. Gag me. Tell that sob story to anyone paying SMU student loans...

I got a free SMU degree, may have had 5 years to do it, received free daily tutoring and had all my food, board and books paid for...playing a sport that I love...which may launch a multi-million dollar career...boo hoo!

We are allowed to recoup our expenses. Everything else goes to the NIT. So it just depends on how we do our books.
