You read it correctly, but unfortunately, the Times report is incorrect. charsibb is correct -- that's the amount for the entire conference. Yay for fact checking.

Most think this is last discussion before BYU possibly heads to NBE. Other thread had BYU getting $4 mil from ESPN. If this is the case the NBE deal would need to be $6-8 mil with ESPN, for BYU to be able to make a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that STILL not being an issue with them. Will the Big East or Big 12 be okay with that? We'll see.

I think when its done it will look like this: All sports conference for all members: Two divisions. 16 teams (first confernce to 16 all members) EAST USF,UCF, UCONN, Temple, Navy, ECU, Cincy, (Memphis/Tulane) West SDSU, Boise, Houston, SMU, Tulane, Fresno, UNLV (Memphis/ Tulane) If FRESNO or UNLV dont come as many expect or others leave I expect to see us get Army, Airforce, UMass, Nevada or BYU to fill the holes. FB championship will be at higher seed or rotate East/West every other year at teams home stadium.( No netural site) BB Tourney could be played all over the county really when you look at the cities and teams in the new conference. If we lose the Garden. Bid it out to cities every 2- 3 years. Edited December 21, 2012 by Dhambuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
