I don't think any of the other P confs have negotiated TV contracts with the possibility of backfilling for lost members ...

The Big East has language written into its contract about potential members #11 and #12. The current deal is 10 years for $500 million, and if the league expands to 12, it goes up to $600 million (to account for new members). Basically, it doesn't take away any money from the current schools, nor does it add to it.

Ok, there you go. That's basically the same pro-rata clause. They knew who the Big East could eventually add, and trusted the Big East to make that decision if/when that decision is correct to make, so they signed off on giving them pro-rata for two more schools.

Whoever negotiated the B12's pro-rata was a genius. The B12 could add UAB, San Jose St, Florida Atlantic, Georgia State, Eastern Michigan, and Kent St, and ESPN and partners would have to pony up over another 1 billion dollars to the B12 over the current contract lifetime for doing so.

"Fox won them over with a 12-year deal worth about $500 million, according to reports. But the contract could spike to $600 million if the conference grows to a dozen teams, according to two people briefed on the contract but not authorized to speak publicly about its terms."
