Page 27 of the 28 page report has the distributions. Interesting that of 576 million, only 217 million (1st 2 columns) is based on the basketball tournament.

Report is to calculate the effect of removing FBS factors (in other words give more money to the 21 non-FBS conferences).

A lot of this stuff is indicating to me the rest of Division I is delusional and the P5 are becoming more likely to split.

It is inevitable. Just a matter of when and who comes along for the ride.

If I'm reading that correctly, the idea behind this report is to remove football, and football scholarships, from some formula used to distribute NCAA-acquired revenue back to the conferences, and effectively take an average of roughly $400,000 per year away from each P5 school, and an average of about $300,000 per year from each G5 school, and re-distribute that money among no-football D-I schools.

The vast majority of the NCAA's annual revenue comes from March Madness. So the idea is to take money away from the schools and conferences that generate the lion's share of the TV and ticket revenue of March Madness, so as to give more money to schools and conferences that contribute less value to that revenue-generating machine.

That is indeed a delusional idea. Fortunately for the vast majority of D-I, this idea will never be implemented, and therefore they don't have to worry that it will provoke the P5 powers to consider leaving the NCAA.
