@frankthetank111 @patricksouthern was told approx 65-75 percent for fball; 25-35 percent for hoops

The offer was 9-year/$1.4-billion. If things don't get blown up by expansion, the Big East should come out ahead of the ACC in this next cycle (b/c the ACC signed early on, before the Pac 12 broke the bank).
