Amid reports that Big East schools are voting today to increase the exit fee from $5 million to $10 million, conference commissioner John Marinatto has notified the media that he intends to discuss the conference's realignment efforts Tuesday. From CBS Sports' Eye on College Football blog:
The Big East conference invited media members to join Commissioner John Marinatto on a conference call Tuesday afternoon, the league announced on Monday. The release from the conference office stated the purpose of the call would be to discuss current information on Big East realignment. The call suggests Marinatto has an update regarding their efforts to replace Syracuse and Pittsburgh while pursuing a 12-team model for football.
It's not yet known what Marinatto will announce, but at the very least it seems likely he'll share the results of Monday's reported vote. The conference needs 11 of its 14 member schools to approve the exit fee increase. Check back tomorrow for the latest from the call.
