It’s these murkily titled, excessively salaried suits, who try to paint women’s teams as a revenue fail to cover their soft-padded seats. At the top of NCAA headquarters sit 10 executives whose collective salaries amount to $8 million annually, topped by Emmert’s $2.7 million in compensation. The salaries of just 10 NCAA administrators could sustain the most successful program in women’s basketball for a whole season. New Washington Post reporting by Ben Strauss and Molly Hensley-Clancy suggests the NCAA has understated the value of the women’s tournament by nearly $100 million. The NCAA has said the women’s event is worth just 15 percent of that deal, or about $75 million.
