They are not even going to wait until the TV deal is done? Seems very odd.

Another tough blow for the Big East. Notre Dame always had solid basketball teams and a great following in the league and at the Big East Tournament.
No way to spin this one.

Adding the $50 million exit fee to prevent the Big 12 from taking FSU and Clemson. Now if the Big 12 wants to expand their only targets would be Cincy & Louisville or BYU & someone from out West.
If the Big 12 is set on going back to 12, it does not look good for the Big East."When March Madness spills into April.... that's the gravy!" - Homer Simpson

ACC is also adding a $50 million exit fee. They are not messing around.

Being reported all over the place. I guess being tied to the ACC gets them a better bowl bid. I just don't get the timing of this one. Really seems odd that they would screw over the fellow Catholic schools like this.

No way to spin this one other than the ACC really is determined to eliminate the Big East, why else would they want 15 teams?
Look at their conference.....
Boston College (Big East defector)
Clemson
Duke
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Maryland
Miami (Big East defector)
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Notre Dame (Big East defector)
Pittsburgh (Big East defector)
Syracuse (Big East defector)
Virginia
Virginia Tech (Big East defector)
Wake Forest
6 teams poached from the Big East. That is not a coincidence."When March Madness spills into April.... that's the gravy!" - Homer Simpson
