With all the truckloads of cash they are going to get by joining the SBC a year early, they shouldn't have any problem paying the damages (or at least come out ahead or at worst breakeven...hopefully they've already done the math).  One way or another it's going to come down to dollars.  So again, I don't get it.  They have immunity, just ignore whatever C-USA has to say, flip them the bird, tell the conference to pound sand or whatever and move on.  Maybe it is the Sun Belt who is asking for the three to make a clean break without all the drama before they want to get involved.   

The math ain’t hard man.

Sun Belt is going to give them equitable shares, it will be more than they were making in CUSA before they announced they were leaving. It absolutely will be more than they would make next year otherwise since CUSA is going to retain this year’s check and next years. 

Absolutely no way at all that CUSA’s damages would be more than their share of Sun Belt money.

The estimate has been that two years of CUSA revenue loss is a cost of $3 million divide by 2 that’s $1.5 million per year.

So option 1.

Lose $1.5 million for 2021-22, lose $1.5 million for 2022-23 for total cost of $3 million.

Option 2.

Lose $1.5 million for 2021-22, get roughly $2 million in 2022-23 from Sun Belt, pay CUSA damages of say $500,000, pocket the same amount of money they would have received had they stayed in CUSA. Net cost of leaving $1.5 million
