"The Big East and the Catholic 7 basketball schools have much to hash out in their divorce, and among the assets for the conference to protect: A “Realignment Reserve Fund” worth a projected $68.8 million by 2020, documents show."
"Though the documents don't provide answers to the questions, they highlight the Big East's financial intake from the mass departures during the recent waves of conference realignment, including:
"The documents state the Big East retains NCAA units from West Virginia, Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville, worth roughly $50 million over a nine-year period."

That's a lot of somollians...
"Though the documents don't provide answers to the questions, they highlight the Big East's financial intake from the mass departures during the recent waves of conference realignment, including:
- Approximately $18.8 million in exit fees “on deposit in the Realignment Reserve Fund” by June. (Fees from West Virginia, Texas Christian and a portion of what Pitt/Syracuse owe.)
- Approximately $25 million more in the RRF by June 2018 (rest of Pitt/Syracuse fees, and balances from Louisville and Rutgers, which is in litigation with the conference. In October 2011, the Big East reportedly doubled its exit fee amount to $10 million).
- Approximately $25 million in entrance fees from 10 incoming members running to 2020. (This was before Boise State and San Diego State returned to the Mountain West Conference. Boise owes a $2.5 million exit fee, which also covers SDSU since the two came in as West Coast partners.)
