Did XU and BU pay $2 million as an exit fee to the A10? Did they pay completely on their own (no conference loan)? And does anyone know if the A10 or MVC changed their fees after everyone made their official departure announcements?
Not only did Xavier and Butler pay a $2 million exit fee, they also had to give up any NCAA credits that they earned while in the league. For Butler, it wasn't as much since they were only in 1 year, but Xavier gave up a ton. Fordham, Lossalle, Olean Welding Academy and other flotsam and jetsam of the league wound up making more money from Xavier's success than Xavier did....and they did it by just sitting there and being lousy. All you other schools should be honored and flattered that X would spend so much to associate with you.
It's a great country isn't it?

The C7 left a lot of money on the table too. The Big East name wasn't free and as the old adage goes, you gotta spend money to make money. I know the folks in charge at X are happy with the new revenue source. Look at all that money USF got from Big East BBall?
