If you don't know Kristi Dosh, she was one of the number crunchers who called foul on the Carr Report"s numbers regarding UAB Football. She's darn good.

"For institutions in the Power Five, distributions from the NCAA account for a lower percentage of total revenue than in the mid-majors due to the television contracts those conferences each has with one or more major networks. Those television contracts are estimated to get approximately 80% of their value from football.

For mid-majors, however, the loss of NCAA revenue last year was even more significant. Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson estimated each member institution would be taking a hit in excess of $1 million.

Unfortunately, it’s not simply a one-year impact. Revenue distributed through the Basketball Performance Fund ($168.6 million in 2021) and the Equal Conference Fund ($53.9 million in 2021) are based on a six-year rolling period based on performance in the tournament. That means for six years, 2020 will be a zero in that calculation."
