One person familiar with the Big East's per-team worth as a football conference, said that the league could stand to double or triple its current value of $6 million per team - given the right package. However, if a new network inks the Big East to a lucrative deal there is a chance that all the teams will have to sign over their individual broadcast rights as part of the contract. That would provide extra insurance to the network and Big East, should a school decide to defect to another league.
