    The Big East and West Virginia reached a settlement Thursday night that would end their bitter legal hostilities over the Mountaineers' plans to quit the conference, according to a newspaper report.

    The Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail, citing an anonymous source, reported that a settlement of the competing lawsuits over WVU's plan to join the Big 12 includes terms for the Big East to receive $20 million from the conditional deal. WVU would contribute $11 million, with the Big 12 covering the remaining amount.

    The newspaper says the settlement would clear the way for WVU to gain full membership of the conference on July 1.
