Women's units will be worth far less, with a total of $15 million being awarded to NCAA tournament teams in 2025. The money will come from the women's basketball media revenue dea

In a historic vote Wednesday at the NCAA convention in Nashville, the organization approved a plan to pay women's basketball teams for making the NCAA Tournament. Men's basketball teams have been reaping the benefits of the same revenue sharing plan for many years.
