- The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant effect on mid-major universities’ Total Donations, Athletic-Restricted Donations, and Attendance after a Division I men’s basketball team makes the NCAA tournament. Donation and attendance data was collected from 153 mid-major universities who made the NCAA men’s basketball tournament at least once during 2004-05 to 2013-14. Paired samples t-tests found there was a statistically significant increase in Total Donations and Athletic-Restricted Donations the year immediately following a tournament appearance. After a school appeared in the NCAA tournament, universities saw on average a 6.8% and 10.24% increase in Total Donations and Athletic-Restricted Donations respectively.
