UCLA 13th Most Valuable College Basketball Team

Came across this Forbes article that was very interesting detaling the value of the top 20 college basketball teams. UNC is the most valuable at $25.9 million. UCLA ranks 13th at $15.4  million.

I found this really interesting:

Athletic conferences receive annual payments from the NCAA's central basketball fund of more than $140 million based on the number of games their teams participate in during the NCAA tournament over a six-year rolling period. These payments, which are composed primarily by TV revenue, directly reward success on the court. The *UCLA Bruins' consecutive Final Four appearances the last three years, for instance, will generate close to $18 million through 2013 for the Pac-10 conference*, which will divvy up the money amongst its members. The Bruins' recent success has helped boost operating income 30% since 2006 and increase team value to $15.4 million.

So since we brought in $18 million for the Pac 10, shouldn't we be entitled to better roughing or at least some say in who the next commissioner is. In the world of business, money = voice.
