Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 132465, member: 312"] I can understand the BE wanting to keep Cuse & Pitt in conference until the new replacement schools come in starting with football in August 2013. What I don't get is why Marinatto would want to hold them an additional year until fall 2014. Keeping Cuse /Pitt that year just requires the conference to award 2 more shares of the media revenue to those schools. The media pie will be the same for that year if they leave and are replaced. So keeping them just reduces the per team payout for the other schools. Doesn't make any financial sense. I have to think the other member schools would rather split those 2 shares among themselves plus get some amount of additional buyout from Cuse/Pitt and split that booty too. Can anyone explain Marinatto's position other than just being vindictive? [/QUOTE]
