Yes, you are correct.I can't remember, can anyone confirm that the exit fee would have been $5 million if they stayed until 2014?
Per Andy Katz source with BE...Pitt out by Fall 2013. Does that mean they will miss 2013 football in ACC? I bet not, but it appears the BE is playing chicken with them now and hoping for an increased exit fee.
Wasn't their offer from the B12 contingent on being there this season?Question:
WVU paid $22M (with B12 help) to exit in 2012. Was that extra year (and damaged reputation) worth the extra $14.5M?
Wasn't their offer from the B12 contingent on being there this season?
Or, based on who they could/couldn't have gotten instead, did WVU fall for a $14.5M bluff?
...to the Big 12, yes. Worth it to WVU? Not sure about that. Time will certainly tell.

basically the college athletic grim reaper held a gun to their head, told them the bigeast was dead...and then asked 2 questions:From a purely dollars-and-cents aspect it's hard to imagine it not being worth it to WVU.
They're reaping a financial windfall, and if it took over-paying to get out of the BE on the B12's timetable, then so be it.

1. can you find a new home??
2. how much is it worth to you??
they found a home and paid. god bless em.
id be willing to bet that storz and rutgers would be writing 15MM checks to get in the bevo if asked.
Now now, let's be gracious.So long suckers!
Looking forward to painting the ACC logo my driveway - and having the best fans in America offend the heck out of the southeast as we take over their gyms. SUball

you still have time to leave her.I love our locust fanbase.
My girlfriend is a huge UNC fan from Chapel Hill. She's dreading having to deal with us. I look forward to the first trip to the Dean Dome.
