European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 10, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday March 10, 1991 the stars and stripes b Page 21 Money aside Mcaa Field is playing for the trophy by Doug Tucker Kansas City to. Apr maybe it will turn out to be just 63 also rans fighting for the right to get routed by top ranked defending Champion univ or maybe history will repeat itself of the tune of 1983, the year an a ranked North Carolina state ambushed Akeem Olajuwon and Houston a supposedly unbeatable Phi Slamma Jama. But one thing about the 64-tem Mcaa tournament being unveiled at 6 30 . Est sunday is clearer and in the minds of Many Reform minded insiders of More lasting note. A was much As possible a says Mcaa executive director Dick Schultz a a we be got them playing for the  with this tournament begins the no aah a grand plan for taking Money supposedly the cause of so Many College ills and turning it into an instrument of Reform. Now is when the Mcaa attempts to double the tournament television Revenue to $1 billion while reducing at the same time the financial pressure to win. Will it have any noticeable effect on How the games Are coached or played Over the next three weekends leading up to the Indianapolis final four definitely not say the people who spent More than a year orchestrating the plan and Selling it to the basketball Powers. Still Schultz spoke often of eliminating a the $200,000 free  and its going \ to be a Radical departure when athletic directors shake those Mcaa checks out of the mail next month that Are no longer based solely on How Many tournament games their school or conference has just won. Instead tournament victories will be Only one Factor in a Complex equation that attempts to take the Money and turn it As much As possible into an instrument of Reform. The formula is so complicated the Mcaa has staffers working on a separate explanation Sheet for Media covering the tournament. Essentially it divides the seven year $1 billion lbs contract into two roughly equal pools with one dispersed on the basis of such things As commitment to Broad based athletic programs number of scholarships Given Etc. The a participation Pool a is based on a rollover period that counts Only the number of tournament games a schools conference played a not won a the previous. Six year Cycle. Each game is counted As one unit except the title game which is not counted at All. The unit value this year. Is estimated around $42,000. And thus in an ironic fiscal twist getting to the final four will produce less Revenue a about $210,000 a than the $294,000 schools got last year for just showing up. It will be about five times less than the is million that went to last years final four teams. Once the final accounting is done most schools will wind up with More tournament Money than Ever before because the contracts value More than doubled. But they will earn a smaller percentage by winning tournament games. A one Way to think of it is that last year a unit was Worth $294,000 and this year a unit is going to be Worth about $42,000,�?� said Lou Spry an associate executive director of the Mcaa. _ although proponents of the plan used to talk about doing away with the financial pressure cooker Many coaches work under those closest to the process now insist there will be no Impact on the Competition itself. A Guys Are still going to be stressed out. Fans Are still going to be exhilarated by the wins and deflated by the losses a said. Jim Delany who served on the Revenue distribution committee and chairs the tournament selection committee. As a Reserve Gurd for North carolinian the 1960s, Delany played in the final four. A a a. A a it a not going to change the Way the athletes play a he said. A that sort of thing has always been the furthest thing from the athletes minds. I done to expect it to change the tournament in any Way other than to say we be dulled the financial importance of winning by distributing the Money in other ways and spreading out the Impact Over six years while dividing the Money among the conferences rather than sending it to the  while the new plan May not change the Way a coach attacks a full court press it could help the battered image of College athletics said Mcaa president Judy Sweet. A i think there a a Public perception that menus basketball and football Are questionable As Amateur athletic events a said Sweet who chaired the Revenue distribution committee. A by removing the direct assignment of dollars to the teams performance in the tournament we Are moving in the direction of rightfully restoring intercollegiate athletics As an Amateur athletics entity.�?�.
