Two interesting quotes from the story:

"However, both WVU and the Big East have filed lawsuits against each other and a Rhode Island judge ordered the parties into non-binding mediation with a deadline of Thursday."

"ACC commissioner John Swofford would not speculate whether his league would help Pitt and Syracuse financially to leave the Big East before 2014, but told CBSSports.com “our position continues to be that we want to prepare ourselves when they’re ready and it’s appropriate for them to join us.”


Edit: Just noticed Upstate started a thread with a tweet from Kevin McNamara on this subject
 
I'm so glad we're leaving this sinking ship. What a disgusting Frankenstein conglomerate of desperation the Big East is becoming.
