The BE has to feel threatened by this. MSG has outs all over that contract, and while MSG wouldn't want to mess with the yearly guarantee of the BE, this B1G puts huge pressure on the BE. They need to sell that sucker out at top dollar every year. Because MSG now has a renter interested in the property.
If the B1G tourney can get 2x as much $$ as the BE gets (and I suspect it will, on demand alone) then MSG has to consider selection weekend as an even greater commodity. If the B1G could commit to MSG once every four years, then MSG maximizes profit by telling the BE to look into Philly or DC in that 4th year.
