The TV money difference - can it be quantified? - probably does not offset the loss of NCAA unit money.

I will guess that Wichita will now make $500k per year more from tv than UD.
I will also average out a NCAA unit from the last 4 years to be worth $260,000.
And I think we earned 8 units over the past 4 years.
260k X 8 =$2.08 million. I think we keep 75% of our units.
That leaves about $1.56 million.
We would break even in 3 years just on our units alone.
Maybe the rest of the A10 contributes about 4 units per year.
.25(X 260k x4 units)x3 years=780k
So, maybe overall we break even in 4.5 years.
And that is ignoring our share of whatever units we, and other AAC teams, earn in the AAC in those 4.5 years.
It seems like a no-brainer to join the AAC if invited.
