New Cusa annual distribution formula

Coach Bill Lewis · February 21, 2013

Here is what I am hearing and if so it will take quiet awhile for the newbies to see any significant monetary distribution.

Simply speaking, there will be four sets of books. The first book will include exit fees and other penalties or assessments payable by the departing schools that is on hand now and collected in the future. The ONLY members collecting from that fund will be those who remain from the following group AFTER 6-01-2913. This includes UAB, USM, Tulsa, UTEP, Marshall and Rice if there are no other defections before then. Any one of those defecting later will forfeit any undistributed amounts.

The second set will include current years ncaa bb unit payout, tv revenue, current years bowl and BCS payout, and any other current years tourney revenue. All current members will receive their normal payouts from those funds.

Departing schools will leave their earned ncaa bb units with the league. These, along with any earned and unused in the upcoming tourney, will go into a separate pool from which ONLY the remaining schools from the above group will participate until exhausted in 5yr.

June 2013 will basically start a new league with new set of books. Funds from THAT years tv contract, bcs bowl payouts, other bowl payouts earned during the year, and any ncaa basketball units earned in the 2014 tourney will be distributed among MEMBERS at the time.

New members will share ONLY in funds accruing to the league after the jump start date. Edit note: funds EARNED after jump start date, not funds accruing.

That sounds about right. Typically, entrance fees are paid out of conference revenues - that is a school just doesn't collect money from a conference till their entry fee is paid. Exit fees used to be paid by sacrificing conference revenue from the time you announce leaving. That gets trickier now with teams leaving with no or little notice.
