The Big East has provisions for teams to leave and provisions to add teams. The all sports but football schools obviously have the right to vote on sports teams who they will end up having to play in all sports other than football.

The 27 month provision allows the conference time to select replacement teams if they can, and allows the replacement teams to provide notice to their own conferences. The Big East has only 8, now 5 full time members; they are obviously the most vulnerable conference with respect to full sports members. They need 8. Not every replacement team can be available on a moments notice.
 
Talk about jumping to conclusions. The Big East just found out last week the Big 12 is only expanding by taking TCU and WVU, for now. Potential replacement teams are only now in process of being invited. Until the dust clears, of course the conference is going to hold departing schools to the terms of the agreement they signed.
