Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 197467, member: 19"] I don't know why the Big East doesn't just pony up and/or use its supposed position of authority to tell Boise and Memphis (or someone else) they are starting in 2012. The Big East teams all scheduled non conf thinking they would have 8 conf games. Now they're down to 6. So bring it back to 8, pay off the MWC, CUSA, MAC whoever you have to. You have WVU's money to play with. Ask SU or Pitt for their $5M now. In return, you let them out in 2013 without further $, or minimal negotiated $, and you give them 8 conf games in 2012 so they're not scrambling to add someone this late. I'm sure the Big East isn't sitting around thinking they will get some windfall of cash when SU and Pitt try to leave a year early in 2013. [/QUOTE]
