"But without the (Big East) basketball schools to add value to the television contract – estimated to be as much as 30 percent – this is a dicey proposition. CBSSports.com reported last week that the contract could be worth as little as $60 million per year. A 30 percent decrease could put the valuation at $42 million.

Split between 13 schools that's $3.2 million per school."

The problem is the Sun Belt has five years left on its TV contract. It is a contract that pays current members approximately $1 million per year.

"Only" $3.2M/BE school vs $1M/SBC school? Wow. Talk about getting the short end of the stick.

I believe the $1M/SBC is for the entire conference, not just one school.
