NCAA unit distribution

[TheDon]

Do we know for sure how the Big East plans to distribute NCAA units? Not conjecture or how things were done previously, but actual commentary from an AD or Ackerman on this? This is a huge piece of our strategy so I'm wondering how its going to work,

I do not know what the plan is currently, but in the past everyone got a share but not the same share. The schools that generated more units got bigger payouts than schools that did not, but everyone got something. I think the ACC distributes evenly, but the Big East never did it that way. Not sure what the deal is now. The good news is units will be paid to the conference immediately. The Catholic 7 negotiated retention of their NCAA units. Most were generated by Marquette, Georgetown and Nova, with St. John's adding units from 2011. The payout due to the conference would be about $7.2 million for the units from the past six years, not including 2013. So that 7.2 million along with the $10 million exit settlement with the AAC went to the league from the outset.

The conference has not made a statement that I'm aware of. Frankly, with no FOI requirements they can wait as long as they want or even never bother saying. I doubt that will be the case, but they could if they wanted.

I don't understand how it's only 29 units for this past year. by my count
2007 Georgetown 5, Marquette 1, Nova 1=7
2008 Marquette 2, Georgetown 2, Nova 3=7
2009 Marquette 2, Nova 5 =7
2010 Marquette 1, Georgetown 1, Nova 2=4
2011 Marquette 3, Georgetown 1, St Johns 1, Nova 1=6
2012 Marquette 3, Georegetown 2=5
7+7+7+4+6+5=36 by my count. That should be over 9 million there.

2013 Marquette 4, Georgetown 1, Nova 1=6

2014 payout should be 7+7+4+6+5+6=35 units
2015 payout should be 7+4+6+5+6=28 units plus units earned next year
2016 payout should be 4+6+5+6=21 units plus units earned next 2 years
2017 payout should be 6+5+6=17 units plus units earned next 3 years.
2018 payout should be 5+6=11 units plus units earned next 4 years.
2019 payout should be 6 units plus units earned next 5 years.

The basketball fund provides for moneys to be distributed to Division I conferences based on their performance in the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship over a six-year rolling period (for the period 2007-2012 for the 2012-13 distribution). Independent institutions receive a full unit share based on its tournament participation over the same rolling six-year period. The basketball fund payments are sent to conferences and independent institutions in mid-April each year.

So the 2013 payout should have gone to the Big East(the old 15 team conference).

The 2014 payout next April should be 35 units(29+6 earned this year)

So immediate to me means next year, just like if the C7 were a conference before, and adding Butler, Xavier, and Creighton.
