How much extra recruiting cash do you receive based on conference performance? How is that calculated?
Q: Do schools that participate in postseason tournaments get "money" for appearing?
A:
Yes, money will be generated based on performance in tournaments, but that money is earned for each school's respective conference and is distributed evenly to conference members. The tournament money is added to the recruiting budget for next season.
For the National Tournament:
- In Division III, conferences will earn $3,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division II, conferences will earn $5,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division I, conferences will earn $20,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
For the PostSeason Invitational:
- In Division III, conferences will earn $1,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division II, conferences will earn $1,500 per game played by one of it's members schools
- In Division I, conferences will earn $5,000 per game played by one of it's members schools
So if a single conference had two teams in the National Tournament and both of those teams made it to the final game, the conference would earn $36,000 (12 total games x $3,000). The $36,000 will then be divided equally amongst that conferences member schools, so each school would receive $3,000.
