The trouble with asking for help is that the only Big12 schools with an open date were Oklahoma and Oklahoma St.  The choice of being massacred by Oklahoma at Oklahoma, since they'd never travel to the dome on a one and done, was taken away when OU filled its schedule with UTEP.  That would leave Ok St., who also won't travel on a one and done and probably not a 1 for 1, and who would also kill SU.  Its cover your ass without any real chance of being accepted by SU or Pitt.  All part of next year's fun negotiations for early exits by SU and Pitt. 
 
The big question is whether the Big East took any less money from WVU in exchange for that clause, which would be just another piece of evidence of Marinatto's stupidity.  The CYA clause will be worth nothing in next year's negotiation with SU and Pitt anyway, since SU and Pitts major argument regarding the loss of WVU remains that the loss of WVU in conference has dramatically decreased the perception of the Big East and the value of Big East wins in conference and has deprived SU and Pitt of an in-conference game and given that Ok and OK St. are not bound by the CYA clause to accept a SU or Pitt request for a game.  Its speculative at best that either would play us.
