"If the Knights ultimately decide to join the Big East, Conference USA officials told the Sentinel that UCF would have to pay an exit fee of about $7 million. Schools leaving C-USA must pay their annual share of television revenue under dual contracts with Fox Sports Network and CBS Sports for five years and an additional one-time $500,000 fee." "Conference USA also plans to enforce its exit rules, which means the earliest UCF could join the Big East would be for the 2013 football season."
