We all want to see at least our own teams play in the tournament, but
let's look at the dollars for a moment. Let's say the NCAA and/or
arenas get $5,000 for the broadcast rights (I think it would be
substantially less). At $20 per ticket, that's 5000/20 = 250
tickets.
So in terms of income, TV rights are a drop in the bucket. Ticket
income is most important to the "success" of the tournament. As it
is, I understand that the Regionals will not be substantial money
makers, but are expected to cover costs. If anyone knows
differently, please let us all know.
cheers,
