If the conference is dissolved, then the units revert back to the individual institutions that earned them.  Which is why what the basketball schools do next will decide the fate of those units.  Remember, starting July 1, 2013, Temple comes on board full-time and UCF, Memphis, Houston, and SMU join as full members.  Once they are in with UConn, Cincy, and USF that is a legitimate conference in the eyes of the NCAAs based upon the new rules they implemented to help out the WAC.  And for sure the Catholic 7 will not have the numbers to dissolve the conference at that point in time.
 
For the Catholic 7 to take the units they have earned with them to this new conference will only come about if they vote to dissolve the conference.  The current by-laws only make mention of a two-thirds vote to dissolve, but supposedly someone inside the Big East is telling ESPN that it requires at least 2 FBS teams and  2 non-FBS to dissolve, although this isn't in the 2011 by-laws that are out on the internet.  And we all know how quickly the BE moves on getting any recently agreed upon by-laws into their constitution.  :rolleyes:  
 
Can see a lawsuit coming for sure, no matter what they decide.
