A Tourney share is worth about $250,000.

The deal appears to provide an incentive for the Tigers to play a C-USA school in basketball.

I advocate, although many good Tiger fans disagree, playing UAB in an annual "Bartow Classic" home and home because it offers an opportunity to honor a man very important to both programs, raise money for cancer research, provide positive PR, help our RPI (in most years), and obtain the Tourney share.

Agreed...if we're going to schedule a CUSA school, it should be UAB.

Apparently you are one of the few Tigah fans who did. I sent a congratulatory text from Floyd Stadium yesterday to one of the forum's more "visible" Tigah fans. He responded with multiple texts laced with f-bombs.

Shameful.

I think he was but I can't confirm so I won't out him here. I was told he had a rough time at UCF last year with John Barleycorn and required some assistance.

We think hoops above all else here in Memphis...and being in an AAC lineup of UConn, Cincy, Memphis, Temple, Tulsa, UCF, even SMU with Larry Brown is very appealing to us.

Plus we get this season where we get to play Louisville, UConn, Cincy, Temple, UCF, Rutgers, etc all home-home in conference...it should be fun.

It might not be a bad idea. They haven't even sniffed playing for a conference championship in football since dropping the Div. 1 Independent label.

I have a 2 questions for the new aac fans (cusa defectors)... Are you guys getting any of the ncaa credits left behind before the break up of the "old big east"? or is that money only going to usf, cinci, and uconn? I seem to remember there was a little bit of an argument on the split of exit fees between the aac newbies and the big east left overs and I don't know how that was solved. My second question, how did the big east members get the "big east" name, did they leave their ncaa credits behind for that?

I could be wrong, but I think they get a small fraction of what was left behind. The lion's share goes to UCONN, Cinci, and USF though.

I don't know if Tulane, ECU, and Tulsa get any at all though since they're joining a year later.

The exact numbers have never been made public but there were some sources that like Blaudschun that gave enough details to get a decent idea of what happened.

The exit fees and NCAA credits left behind were worth well over 100 million dollars. The word is that the majority went to USF, UConn, and Cinci. The newcomers got shares based on when they came in (those entering earlier got a bit more, those entering later got a bit less). If I recall correctly, everyone will end up getting enough so that they essentially clear some money after paying entry/exit fees. Basically, the cost of switching conferences will disappear and there is little extra added to the income share of each newcomer over the next 6 years (I think its around $500K per year). This is in addition to any credits earned by the conference in ongoing operations. The conference also gets a full BCS share for this final year before becoming a G5 member next year. That's about 28 million--or 2.8 million per team (for those that made the switch this year). Next year, that share reverts to whatever G5 split it earns. I mention that because the BCS income for this single year will pay virtually all the costs of the conference switch, so the monies from the "realignment fund" settlement will basically be free and clear earnings for Memphis (as well as SMU, UCF, and Houston for that matter).

it's getting split 60-40 (Old-New)

with the TV money and "war chest" split UConn, Cincy, and USF will get ~6 million per season, per year, for the first five years...the rest of us will get ~3 million per season, per year, for the first five years. (or ~3x what we got in CUSA)

I seem to remember reading that the 3 schools joining the AAC (Tulsa, Tulane and ECU) are actually getting money to join. To the best of my recollection I seem to recall that new schools will be getting somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million dollars per year from the television deal and another $2-4 million per year from the exit fees of the departing schools; which puts the entire payout in the neighborhood of $4 million to $6 million dollars per school per year until the AAC contract look in period with ESPN comes around. At least that is what I seem to recall reading and the Tulsa president verified that all of the new schools will be getting at least $4 million per year in the new conference.

Thanks for the details. I kinda quit following everything after Charlotte got invited to CUSA.

Are you sure its that much? I was under the impression it was closer to 6 million total over the 6 year period. Three million to cover entry/exit fees and an extra 500K per year over the 6 years of the current contrtact. The entire fund is only around 100 million. 40% would be only be around 40 million. Three million per season is 18 million per team. I don't think its that high---theres just not enough money to pay that much per team.
