Millions of Americans soon will be filling out brackets and cheering their teams as the March Madness of the 2015 NCAA men’s basketball tournament sweeps the nation. But hoops junkies know it’s about more than just X’s and O’s: Men’s basketball teams at NCAA schools generated total revenues of over $1.6 billion last year. So, for the second year in a row, NerdWallet focused on what we call “Money Madness.” We analyzed the revenue that this year’s top-ranked basketball teams bring to their universities and quantified how valuable players would be if paychecks were allowed for college athletes. Our study isn’t focused on advocating for or against paying student-athletes — that’s a separate debate with many points to consider on both sides. Key takeaways Already at NBA value?
