The CYOs could dissolve the league if they want to, but that'd screw the football schools. So I think the deal when it's all said and done is, the CYOs will get their share of the exit fees from the teams that fucked the league in the first place, to ensure they can start their new league, they might SHARE MSG for their respective tournaments or alternate for a bit (let's not forget, the Newark arena is there too and so, someone will probably go play there in the off-years...since that arena isn't always used for NCAA games)
They leave behind those credits, but they probably will follow it up with their TV deal. If they can forge a national league, they'd make some of that money back.
Barclays is already to the A10, so that's out of play.
It's all going to be a big mess, but..the CYOs will get an autobid no matter what happens, because they've all playing together for 5 years and they're a core group of 7. So depending on how bitchy the Big East is to them, will determine whether they vote to sink the bitch or to leave it intact.
