Exit fee of $10 million. UofL still might abstain.
Once done, big question becomes, is it enough? And will the exit time be shortened from 27 months? It's one of those things everyone knows is a half-hearted attempt at "commitment" given the low figure.
At first Marinatto and basketball schools wanted 3X league revenues. That was shot down. Then they wanted 150% of the last year's revenue. That too was shot down. Now an exit fee just $3M more than CUSA.
But UCF, Houston, SMU, Boise would come no matter what. Navy is the big question. Navy comes, comes.
Also, if UofL abstains, what kind of message is that going to send?
