Utah won't make up what they are paying out. Not directly.
And bringing up tourney shares...you're right. You share in what other conference teams do. Which, until this season, has not been much. Especially considering that the PAC-12 has 12 teams. This is the first year it will even be decent, for a top 6 basketball conference.
As far as Final 4's....the PAC-12 has the longest drought of any Top 8 conference, plus the Missouri Valley. For a major basketball conference, 2008 was a long time ago. I have followed the PAC-12 my whole life. It was only a few years that I realized that it is easily the weakest of the Major conferences. Outside of 1997 Zona, the last non-UCLA National Championship was 1959 (Cal).
In other words, until UCLA or Zona really gets it going again, the PAC-12 won't be making all that much tourney revenue, IMO.
