the Big East has been dead for awhile now but check out just how dead they are after signing their new tv deal with ESPN.

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/s...espn-finalizing-7-year-130-million-media-deal

This all started when they turned down a $1.17 billion dollar deal two years ago. Since then 16 schools have left the Big East. Now they are signing a $130 million dollar deal. Talk about the motherload of worst financial decisions in the history of history. Each school gets $1.8 million a year instead of $14 mil. Ouch!

I still laugh at how excited Memphis was about joining the Big East. That's come back to burn them.
