Quick, which conference is raking in the most money from the NCAA’s billion-dollar TV contract?Is it the Big East, the home of newly crowned national champion Villanova? Not by a long shot. A great guess would be the Atlantic Coast Conference, the league that filled the Sweet 16 this March and absorbed many of the Big East’s marquee programs a few seasons ago. Wrong. How about the Big 12, the conference that seemingly always puts seven teams in the tourney? Not them either.So which conference received a $29.3-million check from the NCAA’s $200-million basketball fund last spring? The American Athletic Conference, which still has its offices a jump shot away from the Rhode Island State House. The American’s take from the pot was the largest in the country, easily eclipsing the total earned by the Big 10 ($24.5 million) and the Big 12 ($20.1).
