Also looks like 20 million is the settlement between WV/BE

Let's hope that this gets done.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University and the Big East Conference have reached a conditional agreement to settle their legal battles against one another, a source told the Charleston Daily Mail Thursday evening.

A formal announcement could be made as early as Friday. That is also when the Big 12 is set to release its 2012 conference football schedule, media outlets reported Thursday.

The Big East will make about $20 million from the resolution, with WVU paying $11 million.

----------

In that proposed scenario, WVU's $11 million payment would cover three things: The Big East's $5 million exit fee, Boise State's $5 million buyout fee, and $1 million to match what each Big 12 school is paying.

That would raise the total value of the settlement to $20 million.

------------

Under the conditional agreement, the Big East will now take the money WVU was offering to find a replacement and use it however it chooses.

Good deal. This is a steep settlement that can help prevent picking off teams in the future. That was the point of fighting. Each Big XII school is on the hook for $1M each.

That means if the ACC wants Pitt and Cuse for next year that they'll have to come up with a similar arrangement - $1M from each member school PER school they want in. So $2M from each school in the ACC if they want both schools in.

I have a feeling that the ACC will not be so willing to shell out money to get Pitt and Cuse in sooner.

If the WAC accommodate Boise and they can come in next year then it works out on our end.

The settlement was a straight $20 mil, each Big 12 school agreed to help WVU by giving $9 mil (or $1 mil for each school)

I don't think the Big East demanded $1 Mil from each school, nor would they in the future. I think they just wanted the original $5 mil buyout,, Boise's $5 mil buyout and $10 mil extra.

In the end, it's best for the conference. Anyone who really believed we'd keep a lame duck school around who was willing to pay out the arse to leave was crazy
