Sure they are screwed, just as Kansas, Cal, Oregon, Washington might be screwed.  If almost half the conference wants out because they can at least double their take somewhere else and the other half is clinging onto coattails, can the conference really survive for 12 more years?  You gotta figure everyone in the conference will suffer over that time one way or another.  And let's face it, the likes of Syracuse and Pitt aren't winning butkis in football and their basketball programs are in even worse shape.  I think something has to give before the 12 years runs out.

And the definition of screwed is relative.  No one needed $100 mill to be competitive up to this point.  What, they line their locker rooms with gold and they will be better?  There are X number of college kids who will play whether they play at Ohio State, Alabama, or NC State.  Kids will still choose Pitt or Baylor over Indiana or Miss State regardless of the unversities' financials.
