The Big East changing its name to America 12. TFM.

  1. Strom Thurmond

    A conference that turned down a 9 year/1.17 billion dollar deal from ESPN to sign a deal 2 years later for 7 years/130 million dollars from ESPN, has had 16 teams leave or annouce leaving the conference between those 2 deals, sold its name, sold its basketball tournament site, and is currently watching their former conference mates who bought the name from them negotiate a lucrative deal that sees the 7 Catholic schools going from making around 1.5 million dollars per year each to making up to 5 million dollars. A TFM indeed.
