Last year in the Big East?

This is only a blog, but it's the first I've heard that the penalty for leaving early is an either/or decision"

"By Big East rules, a school cannot leave the conference without paying a $5 million or waiting 27 months."

$5 million now OR wait 27 months - I suspect SU & Pitt pay up immediately

If it really is either or, its a no brainer...

In know this is the FB board, but I have a question - will we be leaving our NCAA Tournament credits on the table when we leave in 27 months/pay the $5M? Anyone know?

i doubt the acc would want us hanging around the big east for three(!!!) more years. we're paying the $5MM and that's the only realistic option. ACC play starts next year.
