No doubt...

The only problem is your fantasyland theory assumes that basketball actually makes the money...

Football makes the real money - always has, always will.

It's why we have football in the league... period... And it's become fairly obvious that the Prafia consider it a necessary evil to line the coffures... in their perfect world, the Big East would have no football.

So... if they effectively succeed in dismantling the football portion of the conference, you know how much football money the basketball schools should get?

I'm sure they'll engage their Manhattan law firm to try and recoup that $40 mill... but good luck with that.

They'll be left with the parochial basketball conference of A10 size, calibur and MEDIA MARKETING VALUE.

I highlight that, because in that scenario, some of the B-Ball schools now playing in pro arenas better get ready for migrating back to the field house.

Without the football clout, the league goes second tier immediately.
