WVU settles Big East lawsuit, won't reveal amount

Athletic Director Oliver Luck says terms of the deal are confidential and WVU won't release details. But he says no state or taxpayer funds, tuition money or other academic revenues will be used. He says WVU will pay the Big East from private sources and money that athletics raised on its own.

Luck planned a news conference later Tuesday in Morgantown.

WVU sued the Big East in November, challenging its bylaws in a bid to join the Big 12. The Big East countersued four days later.
