Bigger Big East looks forward to new TV deal

By Andy Katz

ESPN.com

The Big East breakup that was supposed to happen after the ACC lured three of its members away never happened.

The assumption that the league would last only five years after it then added five Conference USA teams to get to 16 also seems to have been overblown.

The first year of the new Big East, the largest conference in the country and only the second 16-team conference ever in Division I, was a rousing success. And with a pending rich TV contract with partners at ESPN/ABC and CBS, the league is looking like it might be the strongest it has ever been.

Read the rest.

No I wasn't kidding. It's gonna be a HUGE contract. Should be really nice.

I believe football and basketball have separate contracts with TV because of the different number of teams. However they will stick to the same networks.
