Women's basketball teams are on the verge of a significant development that could lead to financial rewards for success in the NCAA Tournament. The Division I Board of Directors is set to introduce a proposal to grant performance units to teams participating in March Madness. These units represent revenue generated by the tournament.
The plan, expected to be voted on in January, would establish financial incentives for women's basketball teams starting with the 2025 tournament. This move aligns with the longstanding practice of sharing March Madness revenue with member schools, a tradition primarily associated with the men's tournament.
