Georgia received $2.163 million from its share of the NCAA distribution in fiscal year 2019 from the men’s basketball tournament, according to audited figures. That was 1.4% of its total operating revenues.  

With the NCAA announcing this week it is by about $375 million, a cut of about 62%, schools’ budgets will be impacted.

“I’m sure that’s not going to be the only line item that is going to be affected,” Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said. “It’s just one of several. We just don’t know the exact number now. We know it will be less obviously. That will go into the information as we create the fiscal year ’21 budget.”

The NCAA will send out $225 million, not the $600 million scheduled before
