a C-A would be around 3.5 and a C- to A+ I think is close to 4.5 I don't have my spreadsheet on me and I don't want to give out exacts as they arent mine, but 2.5 is very low each full letter grade is nearly 2x the effort required. If you are using 2.5 for 2 full letter grades thats really low and estimating a lot less effort on your part required frm the lower school
Even with 3.5x effort a 2 scholly Kentucky still has plenty of advantage to fully beat out Wake forest with 6 openings and if WF does drop every single dime they have of 160K then yes Kentucky can't do anything and WF will suck as they take 5 walkons or take a few $110 special players with no talent.
D1 is a different dog. It wasn't a C- Wake Forest against Kentucky. The overall ACC conference strength raised, and maintained, Wake Forest's prestige at the B+/A- level. Even after seasons of 0-27. They went 20 seasons without a NT win and never dropped below a B prestige. That prestige bump could have been deemed as reward enough. Using more realistic D1 prestige advantage ratios, UK was never more than 1.5x over Wake.
Assuming the SEC pulled in $120,000 tourney cash; If both Wake and UK had one opening it was $75 vs $25. Both with two openings; 90 vs 40. With three, 105 vs 55.
You just said WF was coming off of 1-25 and 2-24 seasons so I assumed they were C-
If it's B+ to A than yeh thats barely even a 1.5x advantage
and at that point thats the problem with how prestige is calculated not a bonus money problem, because a B+ WF compared to a A Kentucky if the ACC is better should be able to have an advantage.
Are you saying the SEC only won 8 NT games then yes Kentucky should be at a disadvantage to WF because a Big 6 conference winning 8 NT games is absolute terrible and the ACC just won 48 freaking games in the NT, and again Kentucky should have a bigger prestige advantage over WF which is a prestige problem not a conference cash problem, I do not see any problem with WF having that much money compared to the SEC with how different the performances were
