Do you think other conferences will begin to force members to sign contracts that stipulate a commitment of so many years as a conference member that can not be broken without severe penalties?
They already do. The Big East breakaways reportedly would pay $1 million to leave their league and must give notice by June 30 to depart the conference for the 2004-05 school year. Such rules make it unlikely that Missouri would leave the Big 12 for the Big Ten, as some have speculated. The Tigers would need to give two years’ notice and make a substantial payout.
