Someone explain this to me...

If the catholic 7 broke away from the Big East, and all the remaining schools keep the infrastructure, prior records, etc of the Big East... how the heck did the Catholic 7 get the rights to the Big East name??? It makes no sense to me.

Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm genuinely curious.

They bought it from them.

It was negotiated. It actually makes sense in that they have many more "core" Big East" teams... and they are pretty much an eastern conference -- as opposed to one that has schools from Texas and Oklahoma and Idaho

well, actually FOX bought it for them ( and of course for their own maketing purposes)
