This Big East 'source' for everyone was one lone blogger from the Washington Examiner.
Other Big East sources disputed it.
most likely nothing there.
Sounds like something completely different to me.

This is NOT true.
I'm disappointed in that JP and GG would agree to something like this. I thought they were better than that.
His mom's hallway is probably more accurate...

Well, the games will all be televised. They've been airing 5 conference games during conference play. There will only be 5 conference games when NU and CU leave.
We need to increase the TV contracts though.
This is NOT true.
Please show me any offer that was made by any conference. Not just a speculation article but a true bona-fide offer.
And what other choice(s) does ISU have. NO OTHER CONFERENCE WANTED ISU.
We have no choice right now but I believe there's a contingency plan.
If you haven't noticed... JP never says anything and nothing ever slips out into the media. If we got an offer from another conference you sure as hell aren't going to know about it..
Summary:
No increase in TV revenue for at least 4 years,
$17 million average is just an estimate, not commitments
No one is prevented from leaving league beyond there public statements of staying
All the exit fee money goes to OU, UT, & ATM,
It isn't clear if the larger share from having 2 less schools is also allocated to the three above
No wonder the five were having a contingency plan meeting last night in KC and I am quite certain they weren't having celebratory drinks. That said JP & GG will have to put positive spin on this
So you know this for a fact? Or are you just taking a shot in the dark without knowing what the hell you are talking about?
If you haven't noticed... JP never says anything and nothing ever slips out into the media. If we got an offer from another conference you sure as hell aren't going to know about it. Go ahead and keep telling everyone that we have absolutely nothing going for us except being UT's *****.
If there is no buyout money, and no new TV deal, why stay? I would find something else to do if I were the other 5 schools, and now maybe we have some time to explore other options. The conference won't survive like this. If Texas can just rewrite the rules whenever they want we can't really compete under that. This isn't any different than it was expect we get nothing, Texas gets more.
And yet at the end of the day - after evaluating all of the option - ISU and JP made the decision to stay put and stayed committed with the Big 12. It must really burn you that ISU spurned all of the other great offers from all the other great conferences but yet stayed put with the Big 12 and Texas. Why is that? WHY?
Do you really think ISU and JP wouldn’t have taken a better offer if one was offered? ISU had no other place to go.
