Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reports:

The Sun Belt adopted new exit fees this week, increasing the exit amount from $5 million to a range of $8-18 million that is determined through the notification date of departure, sources tell @YahooSports.

A 27-month or more notice is an $8M fee and it escalates from there.

I guess Marshall, App State and Old Dominion would still pay the 18 million for short turn around PAC invites.

With the way exit fees have become many schools are not eager to move around anymore.

That is a pricey exit fee for a g6 conference that gets less than the MAC per team annually for television revenue.
