Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:58 pmI get the stability aspect, I really do. Navy doesn't need to be in an AQ conference. Other than that why would SMU, UH, ECU, UCF, Temple, etc. turn down an invite to the BE because of stability. All can go back to their original conference or form another non-AQ league. Getting into an AQ conference is the hard part, not getting out of one. I for one do not care about stability.

Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:01 pm$7 million is not a big deal b/c the Big East revenues are so much higher than CUSA.

Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:22 pm7 million to some schools is a big deal if you leave your conference, pay your 7 million and then the BE dies after or before the 1st year.
