That is not right. Ville Rut. Will earn NCAA credits as a BB member. I expect next year credits will be split 5 ways.
Ville and Rutgers will earn BB credits for the AAC, but they will not see a return on this coming years BB credits. The credits earned this coming year will remain with the AAC for future years, and it would be up to their new respective conferences to share its past credits with them. I beleive BB credits are paid out over a 6 (or maybe 5) year time frame from the NCAA to each conference. Your conference earns 1 credit for each game played by a member of the conference. Basketball credits were worth 1.2 million, but I believe that has been raised to ~1.3 million. It is up to the conference to decide how to distribute the credits. Any payout of credits from the AAC for this coming season would be credits that were previously earned by Uconn, Cincy, USF, C7, and the previous members.
Upstarter has discussed that the bylaws do not allow for ANY payouts to leaving members. If this is the case, then those past earned credits would only be distributed to Uconn, Cincy, USF, and the new members. These credits were discussed at the conference meetings and are lumped in aspart of the exit fee distribution agreement.
Does anyone have the 2012-2013 Big East revenue distribution information? I thought that Pitt received money from the Big East this past season, but this would conflict with the bylaws that Upstarter posted.
