The NCAA has said it will consider unbundling the package of rights, which could include breaking out the women’s basketball championship and selling it on its own. It is thought, sources said, that the rights for the women’s basketball tournament will generate more annual revenue than the entire package of championships.

Get ready to pay more to watch the games.

All that enthusiasm is likely to drive up the value of those broadcast rights. ESPN agreed to pay an estimated $34 million a year for about 20 women’s NCAA sports back in 2011. Now the basketball final included in that deal is likely to be valued at $100 million alone when the current contract expires next year, according to a report commissioned by the league. WNBA rights, which come up in two years, are set to soar as well, by some estimates.
