Does anybody want to speculate what the second TV contract with the Big East will be like. Will they be offered A10 level money, the same big contract, or somewhere in between.
This is going to kick off a bunch of realignment. If a school wants to do this and the conference they are a part of doesn't, or a school that doesn't want to and the conference does.
It is going to make things very interesting.
Something to think about is that the P5 schools each have athletics that have a minimum revenue of 43 million a year. Anybody outside of the P5 with revenue like that are targets for inclusion.

How many bids will they Big East get?
If they have a disaster of year and end with two bids does that effect anything?
Beyond being one less at large bid.
If they have a great year do they take potential at large bids away from the A10?
If the A10 ends the season with more bids than the Big East does that effect anything?
If going forward the A10 puts more teams in the tournament of the next 12 years?
