Isn't Arizona losing worse for us financially? Does it work like bowl games where more tournament games = more conference revenue = more revenue distributed to member institutions?

The Pac-12 would get revenue over a number of years based on the performance of the conference's members in the NCAA tournament.  This 2018 result will likely be referenced by Wilner for the duration of that payout window as other Power 5 conferences will not have similar sub-par financial results. 

This likely will be used by UCB and others with troubling finances to justify their inability to properly service debt, balance budgets, support non-revenue programs, increase salaries, etc.

The impact to this traditionally reliable revenue stream will impact Stanford's AD too, but on a relative basis it will hurt others in the Pac-12 a lot more as I am sure Wilner will note in the next ~2-14 days.
