Yes, unit payments started with the 2025 women’s tournament - payments for 2025 will be paid this year.

Great, do you know amount? If we get enough units with increased attendance that the woman's team makes money, more pressure on Mooney and AD.
A unit last season was worth ~$113,000 paid out over three years, and we obviously earned two units. But the money goes to the conference, not the school. I know it was reported quite a while ago that the A-10 gives 75% to the school that earned the units and 25% distributed to the rest of the schools for the men, but I don't know if that's still the case and if the same policy applies to the women.
A look at all the bracketologies that have updated since our loss:
- ESPN: As noted, Creme has us as the last team in, facing Nebraska in a First Four game.
- USA Today: Surprisingly, Northam has us as the last bye, a 10-seed facing NC State. Rhody is an 11-seed in his bracket.
- The Athletic: Last team in, facing UVA in a First Four game.
- IX Sports: First team out.
- Her Hoops Stats: Last team in, facing Arizona State in a First Four game.

And helps our case to say that we lost to a conference champ. Actually three (Rhody and Texas too). But then destroying Rhody obviously helps us a ton as well. Really our only questionable loss is GW, we tested ourselves against a great schedule, and we still won 26 games. There’s no excuse for us not to be in.
Yeah, four of our seven losses were to tournament teams (Texas, TCU, Rhody, Fairfield) and two others were to a team (Mason) that was 3 points away from going dancing themselves.
GW was a huge bummer and Roussell said as much in the final postgame...he said no team should have to play three road games in five days, and it ends with going to OT and your star player fouls out. If UR wins that game, they've got a share of the A-10 regular season title and I think they would be going into Selection Sunday feeling very confident about things rather than crossing fingers as we are now.

Guess we will find out if the NET really matters. WAB is better for Arizona St compared to UR and UVA. I think the Ivy League result is the most critical element at this point. UR right on the edge.

Today The Athletic updated its bracket and has Richmond as the second of the last four in along with a quick explanation:
"The best-case scenario for the A-10 to earn two bids would have been if Richmond and Rhode Island played for the conference tournament title game. The Spiders hurt their chances slightly by falling to George Mason (for the second time this season) in the semifinals. Richmond still has a better resume than several other bubble teams, particularly in its NET ranking (37) and SOS (41). The Spiders don’t have a Quad 1 win, but they do have three Quad 3 wins. Plus, every season, the committee seems to pick at least one mid-major conference to receive multiple bids. Maybe it’s the A-10’s turn."

Another JOC recycle moment. This was after the A10 tourney loss on Saturday.

I suspect there are some anxious folks over in the Robins Center. Last year a watch party was held and I've yet to see any such event planned for this year. If Princeton wins the Ivy League auto bid this weekend, I think we're in for sure. But I could be wrong.

Or it could just be their usual ineptness where they send an announcement/invitation a few hours before the event starts.
I thought I heard they planned to view at viewing room in Practice building.
