Due to realignment, I need to point out that these numbers represent the units earned by the schools in their current conference, even though they may have been earned while in a different conference. They cover the last 7 tournaments. Units are only awarded for games won through the regional finals. Final Four wins do not add to the total.

Conf...Units

ACC...139
B1G...113
B12....89
SEC....79
BE......73
PAC....71
A10....45
AAC....43
WCC...31
MWC..26
MVC...20

Top earners:

Kentucky.....26
UNC............25
Kansas........24
Wisconsin....23
Florida........21
Louisville.....20
Gonzaga......20
Duke...........19
Michigan St..19
Arizona........19
Syracuse......18
Michigan......16
Wichita St....15
Ohio St........15
VCU.............14

EDIT:

It occurs to me it would be more useful to calculate the number of units divided by the number of teams in each conference. It gives a slightly different picture.

ACC...9.3
B12...8.9
B1G...8.1
BE.....7.3
PAC...5.9
SEC...5.6
AAC...3.9
A10...3.2
WCC..3.1
MWC..2.4
MVC...2.0

ADDITIONAL EDIT: In my haste to answer Hallcity's question I made a few errors, one of them egregious (I shorted the B1G by 20 wins). The revised numbers are shown in red.

I have the ACC at 122 for 2012-17 on the pro forma tab of my spreadsheet, which uses current members. The data is for 6 years since that's the period that the NCAA uses to make payments from the Basketball Fund.

And here is my pro forma calculation after last year's tournament.
