TV for 2013???

[HuskyV]

With the C7 & the Unfaithfully Departed looking for the exit - trying to get a TV deal for next year will be impossible. The C7 will seek their own deal. The departed may be forced to stay on with UConn, USF, Cincy & Temple as place fillers until the new conference roster is filled out.

The BE, as we know, it flames out in March - they better let UConn go to MSG.

"The biggest issue hovering over the future of both leagues is their lack of a television agreement. The Big East's basketball television deal ends at the end of this season. The new league, which is just days old, has been shopping itself for a deal.
What makes the situation with the broken up Big East so tenuous is that the lack of a television deal means that it is highly unlikely that any network would offer a significant one- or two-year deal that would allow schools like Notre Dame, Rutgers and Louisville to fulfill their contract. The chances of any network offering a reasonable deal for a stopgap league are slim. And with interest high in the Catholic 7's unnamed conference television rights, there's likely little desire for those schools to stay for the next two seasons as well."

if sny could do every game for us we would make 10 mil which would be fine as a last resort.

I would assume there is nothing in the BE by laws that deals with universities opting out of their obligations if there is no media contract particularly since their announced departure was cause for the absence of a media contract. So they all are in limbo like the three remaining teams plus Temple. They can complain and bitch all they want but they are just hoping crying can be substituted for legal (monetary) obligations. The C7 will have to pay if they don't follow the bylaws just like everyone else.
