Saint Peter's Cinderella NCAA Tournament Run Unlikely to Lead to Financial 'Jackpot'

The No. 15 Saint Peter's Peacocks have defeated some of the best teams in college basketball in their historic NCAA tournament run. However, the school will unlikely reap the financial benefits of reaching the Elite Eight, and possibly the Final Four.

MAAC Commissioner Rich Ensor said Saint Peter's is unlikely to receive a financial "jackpot" despite its efforts in the NCAA tournament, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. He added that how to compensate the school is something he would have to address "with my board."

"I don't anticipate there's going to be a jackpot," Ensor said of Saint. Peter's. "[The presidents] could go in a different direction. It's really not my call. They tend to want to re-invest."
