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.

You're just a little too late. This is already being discussed in another thread. Nice post by the way.

MWC buyout is about 7mil, the other 2 is going to the WAC to accommodate Boise --- that's what it clearly looks like to me

Call me nervous about this news. I wanted to be in MWC next year. I don't want us to fall flat on our face cause we're rebuilding our first year. First impressions and all..

Coach Pete would say WORRY ABOUT THE SPARTANS FIRST.

Don't worry about it. Your program has established enough credibility. All aboard!!

Sounds good if true. We can all move forward. Syracuse and Pitt are probably gone for 2013 but that is okay because all the other new members will be aboard (sans Navy).

This is the best possible thing for the conference.

That's funny, I was hoping UConn would get another year under Pasqualoni before facing Boise.

Actually he would say "we do not take cousil of our fears, naysayers, or the unkown."

I would much prefer to see the MWC and CUSA disolve then form thier new conference and let all the teams that are moving to the BE go for 2012. But that's just me.
