Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 1557332, member: 3850"] [B]NCAA Bylaws[/B] The following policies also apply when a conference’s membership changes or realignment occurs: A. If an institution leaves a conference and realigns with another and its original conference remains in operation, the units it earned remain with the conference that it left. B. If an institution leaves a conference to become an independent, the units that the institution earned are retained by the conference that it left. C. If an independent institution joins a conference, it retains the units it earned as an independent prior to the date it elected to join the conference; any units the institution earns subsequent to that date accrue to the conference. D. If a conference disbands, each institution retains the units it earned in the basketball fund. E. If an institution leaves a conference and the conference falls below the six-member requirement, the units remain with the conference for a one-year period; however, if the conference then later disbands, those units return to the basketball fund. F. If 50 percent or more of the member institutions in a given conference leave the conference simultaneously and the remaining conference membership falls below six member institutions, the conference shall be considered disbanded and each member institution shall retain the units it earned in the basketball fund as if the conference had in fact disbanded.
