Credits earned in 2015 NCAA Tournament by Conference

NCAA credits are earned for each game played before the Final Four.  Games in the First Four also are eligible to earn credits.

Per Forbes from last year, a credit was expected to earn $255,379 as a starting point per year with the 2015 tournament.  The unit is paid in full over six years with around 2% growth per year.

Updated going into the Final Four.  No credits can be earned during the final three games, so this list is complete.

ACC - 21
American - 3
Atlantic 10 - 5
Big 12 - 12
Big East - 11
Big Ten - 18
C-USA - 2
Pac-12 - 12
MEAC - 2
Missouri Valley - 5
Mountain West - 4
NEC - 2
SEC - 11
Sun Belt - 2
WCC - 5

Any conference not listed has earned a single credit in this tournament so far.

Here's how conferences did in the 2014 tournament.
