If they disolve the conference Notre Dame doesn't have to pay the exit fee.


At this point who cares really? Since the 7 baskeball only schools are the majority right now, they have to strike before July 1st when all the newest footall additions are formally added to the conference and then making them the minority. If they dissolve the conference, the 7 basketball members could keep the name Big East which would be VERY smart for marketing. The A10 schools should look at this in a positive way! Nothing against the A10, but the name Big East is a monster name in basketball.

Everybody because they'd be giving away money.

Kind of but you ain't fooling anybody into thinking it's still the Big East without Syracuse, Pitt, UCONN, Louisville, and Cincy. It'd be a good conference but they'd lose a crap load of money just trying to keep the name.
