No, that’s not how it works. The basketball tournament units go to the conference of the team that earned them and the conference distributes the money to its members as it sees fit. If a team leaves a conference, it leaves any units it earned and the dollars those units represent behind with the conference it was in at the the time the units were earned.

If we were to leave the Big East next year, for example, we would lose the entire revenue we earned in our championship run. The money is distributed on a 6 year rolling system. This year’s tournament units are estimated worth about 2 million over a 6 year period. The Big East earned $30 million from this year’s tournament with $10 million of it earned by our run to the championship. The Big East does not distribute its revenue evenly, so we would get a disproportionately higher percent of that conference total. Bottom line is that we would leave all of that money which we just earned for the conference behind.
