The entry agreements specifcally say that the incoming schools are not to share in the NCAA distributions earned prior to joining, but that is the only revenue that is excluded.
The actual text (courtesy of the Memphis agreement
http://media.commercialappeal.com/media/...5045.pdf):
Quote:8. Following the Effective Date [July 1, 2013], the University will share in all revenues generated and earned by the Conference on the same terms and conditions as existing members, including participating in the Conference's incentive-based revenue distribution arrangements, provided the University will not share in the NCAA men's tournament revenue distributions earned prior to the Effective Date by the existing Conference schools.
And FWIW - the Big East revenue distribution for the NCAA tournament is included in this document as well (all amounts are cumulative):
1st round - $300K Men's, $100K Women's
2nd round - $400K Men's, $150K Women's
Sweet 16 - $550K Men's, $200K Women's
Elite 8 - $800K Men's, $250K Women's
Final Four - $1.1M Men's, $550K Women's
So for those thinking DePaul gets a huge windfall from NCAA tourney units, well, that just is not true, at least for current year participation. Not sure if this applies to past year credits paid, though.
