[QUOTE="leofrog, post: 823446, member: 212"] I would say that this poster sounds like he has some inside info, but there are a couple items: 1) Why is Rutgers is included as a founding member, when they didn't join until a decade later, with Miami, Virginia Tech, BC, and West Virginia. If Rutgers is a "founding" member, why isn't West Virginia? 2) Why would the Big East be tied into the BCS if the football members leave, since they wouldn't have football? I think the contract probably states that it must be a FBS football conference. 3) You are right about the units, but if the majority of the schools want to leave, I think they would have a right to take most of the units. 4) I think most TV contracts now have a clause that they can re-open negotiations if the status of the conference changes.
