Monetary considerations for the NCAA tourny?

[mbrooks]

The question was asked of me and, since I don't know the answer, I thought I would ask here.

Football, etc recieves monetary payouts for participation in different tournaments/bowls/etc.

Does volleyball recieve anything for playing in the NCAA/other end of season tournaments like the WAC?

I don't think the participating schools receive money, but the NCAA pays for the airfare and players' per diem.

I guess theoretically there's a procedure for distribution of net revenue. However - I don't think the tournament turns a profit. I've read some parts of the 2006 D-I Women's VB Handbook that states that revenues can be withheld for participant misconduct (I guess something like trashing a hotel room), but there isn't any formula for distribution that I've seen. All I could find in the D-I manual was this:

18.1 REGULATIONS AND AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCT OF CHAMPIONSHIPS

All NCAA championships shall be conducted in accordance with this bylaw and the policies and procedures established by the Championships/Competition Cabinet, which shall establish and revise the policies and procedures governing the administration of NCAA championships, including selection processes, formats and distribution of revenues to participating institutions. NCAA championships shall be under the control, direction and supervision of the appropriate sports committees, subject to the requirements, standards and conditions prescribed in Bylaw 31. (Revised: 1/10/91)

I was under the impression that all NCAA Tournament teams were allowed to spend a predetermined amount of money as a reward for making it to NCAA's.
