ESPN reports Creighton likely gone to "Big East" i.e. C7

This is the first article I've seen that states Creighton is gone as a near fact. Interesting the C7 allegedly will retain the Big East name and play the championship in MSG... Not surprisingly the Football schools cash in.

Report: Big East football keeps $100M in split

Big East football schools will get almost all of a $110 million pot in a deal that will allow seven departing basketball schools to keep the name Big East and start playing in their own conference next season, a person familiar with the negotiations says.

Yep. The football schools sold the name and tournament location for basically $100,000,000.
