Message: [QUOTE="MU in MKE, post: 4111131, member: 9984"] I think the BE would understand if B10 or ACC came calling... trying to support football is expensive and schools for some reason always feel pressured to support these programs even when they lose tens of millions of dollars a year in some cases. So you gotta do what you gotta do... if the school really feels that's what is best for their brand. That being said, to soften the blow for the conference, UConn agreed to a deal with a hefty exit fee. The terms of the contract state that UConn will be responsible for paying the conference $30 million if it withdraws within the first six years of membership and then it ramps down after that. So that means 1. it's not happening for quite a few years and 2. even if it does the financial impacts at least will be negligible. [/QUOTE]
