If it happened in 2012 would that void our contract with CUSA so that we don't have exit penalties?

Not necessarily. The addition of Hawaii messed things up in terms of having an even number of teams. Unless this merger considers inviting Temple or another school for football only, the league will either have an odd number of teams for football or for basketball. I would just keep it at 16 teams for basketball and 17 for football.
