The Big East is Moving Quickly
Article also says they plan to go to 12 as soon as they can. WV has to be gone anyway, right? Will they just vote with the conference this weekend and then eat the extra $5 when the opportunity to jump materializes?
Late last night, Ben noted a report which stated Big East officials were set to hold a teleconference Friday, with the primary objective being the conference’s presidents and chancellors voting on an increase in exit fees from the current $5 million to somewhere north of $10 million.
Should that transpire, the path would reportedly be cleared for the conference to move on to the next phase of keeping the league alive: doubling its current membership.
According to the New York Post, and citing unnamed sources, the Big East will issue invitations to Boise State, Air Force, Navy and UCF — those first three institutions would join as football-only members – once the exit fees are increased. The Post reports those invitations could be made as early as this weekend.
