The one that wins the most in inter-conference play and finishes the season with the most teams in the sweet 16 of the tournament. I say Big Ten.

Am I the only one who really doesn't care that much if "my" conference is #1 or not? I'll freely admit that I'm not as emotionally or professionally invested in women's NCAA indoor as many here are, but are Ohio State fans really rooting for Michigan? And so on? I went to Cal, and Rich is a friend (at least I think we are, although he may view me more as an ATM machine...hmm.), so I like to see the Bears do well. But I'm for damn sure not rooting for Stanford or USC. Yuck. Part of the investment comes from midwesterners who for years had to hear, over and over, how any school east of the rockies was crap. When Penn State started dominating, we had to hear that there was only Penn State and Penn State only won because they had an easy path. We had to hear this kind of thing despite years of midwestern teams doing well in power ratings, despite midwestern juniors teams winning national titles as often as western teams. It was a collective dismissal of ALL midwestern teams. You might wonder why we would care. For years, there was a great deal of confirmation bias in national rankings. It is infuriating to listen to the circular reasoning of people like this with the power to shape national perception. "When a western team upsets a higher rated western team, that means that the lower rated one must be pretty good and should be higher rated. When a midwestern team upsets a higher rated midwestern team, that means that the good team must not be very good and should be lower rated." This process would continue over and over and eventually lead to voted rankings heavy in only western teams and in disagreement with less biased power ratings. The recent dominance of the B1G conference in the NCAAs seems to finally have shaken out most of the last holdovers of that mindset. So, I am finally starting to care less about this only because it is only in the very recent years being fairly evaluated and perceived.

I say Big Ten. most inter-conference wins would be a fair direct comparison, especially considering how many times the conferences are playing each in the preseason. But even then a simple win loss record has to have subjective analysis to throw out the outliers of unfair matchups (like Washington v. Maryland and MSU v. Oregon State). The post season comparison becomes a bit more tricky because brackets aren't equalized. RPI and regionalization of the subregionals messes up brackets to where sometimes subregionals are full of quality teams and others aren't. Perhaps we will get a pretty even bracket this year? who knows.

Forbes 2014 top 5 most "valuable" college sports Conferences:
1. Big Ten Bowl Games: $45.7M; NCAA Tournaments: $24M; TV Deals: $250M; Total: $318 million
2. ACC Bowl Games: $46.6M; NCAA Tournaments: $18M; TV Deals: $240M; Total: $305 million
3. Pac-12 Bowl Games: $35M; NCAA Tournaments: $13.3M; TV Deals: $250M; Total: $299 million
4. SEC Bowl Games: $51.5M; NCAA Tournaments: $14.8M; TV Deals: $205M; Total: $271million
5. Big 12 Bowl Games: $42.4M; NCAA Tournaments: $19.8M; TV Deals: $200 M; Total: $262 million
Will the volleyball coaching and athletic talent follow the most money resulting in any significant shift in the VB powerhouses? Maybe there’s not a material difference between $318M and $262M.

Maybe there’s not a material difference between $318M and $262M. You also have to account for size. Big 12 only has 10 right now, vs 15 for ACC. Big Ten: 22.7 per school ACC = 20.3 per school PAC = 24.9 per school SEC = 19.4 per school Big 12 = 26.2 per school. These figures also aren't static (SEC will bump quite a bit next year), nor are they necessarily evenly distributed per school (see: Big 12)

The numbers being speculated are obscene. Apparently all vested schools (everyone except Maryland and Rutgers) will receive approximately $45 million per year and adjusted for inflation with each subsequent year.

And the NCAA goes to court claiming amateur status.
