Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2233914, member: 1526"] It's very likely that they all do. The Big East tossed Temple out of the football conference after the 2004 season due to abysmal attendance and play on the field, since they were scarfing up Big East bowl money every year while contributing zero. That seems like a pretty loose reason for expulsion, so the contracts must have been pretty liberal with the reasons for dumping a school. Temple didn't object or sue the conference, so it was probably justified within the contractual provisions. UMASS got bounced by the MAC football conference a couple of years back because they had an apparent rule whereby they could force a school to join the conference for all sports, or they at least tried to force it. UMASS declined because they wanted to keep their Olympic sports in the A-10. [/QUOTE]
