Today SkyWest, Inc. announced an aircraft agreement outlining delivery of 34 CRJ700 and CRJ900 aircraft and the removal of 66 CRJ200 aircraft from Delta contract service to be accomplished by 2015. While allocation of all aircraft in this agreement is not yet final, SkyWest Airlines will receive nine additional aircraft this year as a result of the deal. Specifically, SkyWest will take two CRJ700 and seven CRJ900 aircraft to fly as Delta Connection. We will take the first CRJ900 aircraft in mid-August and service will begin in September and October. *These aircraft will be flown from our Salt Lake City hub and maintained at both our Salt Lake City and Nashville hangars.*
...
So unless there was a similar memo on the Expressjet side of the house, I think these are all going to SkyWest Airlines.

Okay, so the breakdown is this:
Total Skywest Inc a/c: 34 5 CRJ700 29 CRJ900
ExpressJet: 9 3 CRJ700 6 CRJ900
Skywest: 9 2 CRJ700 7 CRJ900
unknown fate: 16 16 CRJ900
So the math works out that Skywest and ExpressJet are splitting the remaining 5 OH 700s & all 13 900s, and the 16 9E 900s are TBD. Some legit so far.....
