Message: [QUOTE="Pyle, post: 59924, member: 137"] Orlando Sentinel: [SIZE=14px][COLOR=#292727][FONT=inherit]If the Knights ultimately decide to join the Big East, Conference USA officials told the Sentinel that UCF would have to pay an exit fee of about $7 million. Schools leaving C-USA must pay their annual share of television revenue under dual contracts with Fox Sports Network and CBS Sports for five years and an additional one-time $500,000 fee.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][COLOR=#292727][FONT=inherit]The last time Conference USA lost members, it negotiated games with remaining league members in exchange for reduced exit-fee payments. USF ended up playing a four-game football series with rival UCF, in part, because of its Conference USA exit-fee arrangement.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][COLOR=#292727][FONT=inherit]If C-USA schools leave this year, league leaders are not currently planning to offer any game trades to reduce exit fees and will require a bonded percentage of the full exit fees before schools can join other conferences.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][COLOR=#292727][FONT=inherit]Conference USA also plans to enforce its exit rules, which means the earliest UCF could join the Big East would be for the 2013 football season.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][COLOR=#292727][FONT=inherit]Link : [URL]http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2011-10-11/sports/os-ucf-big-east-news-1012-20111011_1_conference-usa-ucf-leaders-bowl-championship-series-conference[/URL][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px][COLOR=#292727][FONT=inherit]I don't see anyway SU is out of the BE before 2013. 2012 is a pipe dream.
