C7 Update

The new league will also announce a long-term pact to stage its conference tournament at Madison Square Garden, achieved by assuming the current Big East’s existing lease and extending it to 2026, a source said.

The new TV deal will represent an increase in revenue for the former Big East schools, which reportedly had been getting $2 million to $3 million per year each from the league’s hybrid deal that paid football schools considerably more. Under the deal with Fox, new Big East members are expected to get more than $4 million each, but the division of revenues is still being worked out and will likely include a performance-based component.
 
Can we officially rename this thread "BIG EAST Update". Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? : ) If its true that we've locked up the Garden until 2026, all I can say is....enjoy redneck country Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville and ND. Then again, given where those schools are located, that shouldn't be too hard.

Not sure how that can happen if the current contract remains in effect, unless they were talking about the ACC coming in 2027.
