WVU would be subjected to the Big East Conference's exit fee and 27-month wait before it could leave. WVU was part of the unanimous vote last week to increase the exit fee from $5 million to $10 million. However, since no one has joined the Big East since that decision, WVU would only have to pay $5 million.

With such a crappy group of football schools left, do they still get an automatic bid to a bcs bowl?

I mean we all saw what happened to uconn last year. They had no business being on the same field as OU.

I would think they would lose it.....just thinking this leaves the Big East with I think 5 teams....unless they follow through with adding C. Florida, Navy, Air Force, SMU and UofH.

Not a good fit academically/geographically...but better than BYU imo. We already have two church based schools, but their ideologies aren't that different from each other.
