""BYU was insisting on two things that would never be agreed to by the Big East: (1) BYU wanted to retain the television rights to all BYU home games, and (2) BYU wanted the ability to leave and take all its television rights with them if the Big East lost AQ status, even if the Big East lost it because AQ status was eliminated," the source told the Deseret News.""

If the second condition is to be believed, (the Big East gets to keep the media rights), this is completely new. So far, the only discussion concerning an exit fee has been the increase to $10m if one of the academies join. Plus the 27 month clause.
Granting media rights to this experiment is not sound.
