A women's basketball team that reaches the Final Four of the NCAA tournament could bring its conference roughly $1.26 million over the next three years in financial performance rewards.

In an email obtained by The Associated Press on Friday from the NCAA to its basketball committees and conference commissioners, a pay structure was outlined for the proposal that will give performance units to teams that play in March Madness. Units represent revenue.

All that's left for this to happen is the NCAA membership to approve it in a vote on Jan. 15. The Division I board of governors voted unanimously on this proposal earlier this month.

There will be $15 million awarded to teams in the first year of the fund, which is 26% of the women's basketball media revenue deal. That number will grow to $25 million, which is 41% of the revenue, by 2028. The 26% is on par with what men's basketball teams received the first year the performance units program was established.

The lack of a units system for the women's tournament has been a point of sharp criticism.

Wow you divide that out in the Big Ten...you adjust for taxes and accounting....and each school gets a $10,000 windfall.
18 school joking aside....be nice to see the Big Ten in the Final Four. UConn, South Carolina, USC and Iowa. Let's double down.
