Actually you did. If Notre Dame doesn't side with the Basketball onlies they don't have the votes to split with the leverage that they had.

Actually, ESPN killed the Big East. They made a business decision that it was less expensive for them to pay the ACC a slight premium to take enough members from the Big East to destabilize it.  It took a couple of tries but ultimately they were successful.

The Big East ratings were excellent some of the best in the nation consistently.

No, it wasn't. Notre Dame looks after Notre Dame's interests and not the interests of the group it is arguably a part of. Something conferences should keep in mind when they're falling all over themselves offering Notre Dame membership. But, Notre Dame indisputably brings value. You just have to accept the bad with the good.

Really? What an odd coincidence.  Oh well, I'm quite sure you'll land on your feet, even if that departure comes out a moment that's fatal to the rest of the conference.
